title: [Aerobic wound infections during the war].
abstract: We presented the results of causative agents of wounds aerobic infections obtained during the first three months of third war year in Bosnia. We isolated mostly Staphylococcus aureus (54%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25%) and Serratia marcensens (20%). Other aerobic causative agents of wounds were established in less percent. The most frequent infections were detected in swaba specimens received from Orthopaedic, Traumathological, Plastical, Vasculary and Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases.
