title: [Bacteriological profile of bacteremias in badly burnt patients].
abstract: The purpose of this work is to study the bacteriological profiles of germ responsible for bacteriemas / septicemias in badly burnt patients hospitalized in burns utis, in order to guide better the antibiotherapy of first intention. During the period of survey going from January 1st, 2001 to December 31st,2002 71 patients had one or several episodes of bateremia. The average burnt cutaneous surface was 48.7%. All collected bacteriemas were contacted in hospial. Empirical antbiotheray was effective in 30 patients. The hospital stay for this group was long: 45 to 86 days. Acinetobacter baumannii was the most incriminated germ(20.3%), followed klebsiella pneumoniea (12.7%). The frequency of resistance was variable according to the considered species.
