[Bacteria of the species Acinetobacter calcoaceticus as the possible etiological factor in infectious complications in burns].
The results of the study of the etiological role of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in infectious complications of burning lesions are presented. These bacteria were shown to occur in 28% of burn wounds, quite frequently as a monoculture or association with diphtheroids. A. calcoaceticus were capable of persisting in the wounds during the whole period of treatment (up to 2-3 months). A high level of the contamination of burn wounds with these microorganisms, reaching 10(5)-10(6) cells per 1 g of tissue or 1 cm2 of the wound surface, was observed. The occurrence of A. calcoaceticus in the blood of the patients from whose burn wounds these microorganisms could be isolated was 36.3%. All isolated strains possessed multiple drug resistance.
