Abstract

 A total of 291 specimens were obtained from hospitalized and out patients. They were 10-70 years old, males and females suffering from burn wound infections, during the period29/4/2007–29/9/2007. InAl-Karekh-surgical-hospital&Al-Kadhemiatechinghospital   The most common single isolated pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa %38.6 , Escherichia coli %23.7 Klebsiella spp. %12.2 , Staphylococcus spp. %2.19 and Proteas spp. %1.32.  As mixed isolates  Pseudomonas aeruginosa and  Escherichia coli %12.3, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella spp. %0.9 were found. The study isolats were highly resistant to chloromphenicol %10 Tobromycin %97.43, Gentamycin %87.14, Garamycin %83, Pipracellin %83, Penicillin %78, Tetracyclin % 73.9, Cefotaxime %72.46, Vancomycin %70, Nalidexic Acid %66.7, Trimethoprim %57, Ciproflaxacin %52.5, Amikacin % 26.92 and Nitrofurantion %12.5. It has been notesed   that after the recovery of the mixed infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa &Klebsiella spp.,another infection of E. coli &Proteus spp.arises in the same place after few days.
