Updated evaluation of the activity of antibiotics in a burn centre.
Burns 1992 December
The results of microbiological tests performed in a burns unit between January 1989 and December 1990 have been analysed. Burn wound swabs and biopsies, blood cultures, central venous and urinary catheters, bronchial aspirates, pharyngeal swabs and faecal cultures for a total of 7950 examinations were considered. Staph. aureus was the most frequently isolated bacterium, followed by Staph. epidermidis, Pseud. aeruginosa and E. coli. The antibiograms have shown a low efficacy rate of cephalosporins, even of the latest generation, while with Gram-positive isolates the highest rates of activity were recorded by vancomycin and teicoplanin (100 per cent sensitivity). The situation seems better with Gram-negative organisms since they appear to be sensitive to a larger number of antimicrobial agents.
