title: [Investigation of 728 strains of infectious bacteria in burn ward and analysis of their antibiotic resistance].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the infectious strains of bacteria in our burn ward in recent 5 years, and analyze their antibiotic resistance.
  
  
  METHODS
  Bacteria were isolated from the wound excretions of 306 burn patients hospitalized during 2001 to 2006 for analyzing their strains and their antibiotic resistance.
  
  
  RESULTS
  378 strains were Grams positive bacteria, among them Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant strain. Further analysis showed that methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ranked the first in occurrence, followed by methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) and Enterococcus fecalis, 338 strains were Gram negative bacteria, and among them Acinetobacter baumannii was predominant, and Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ranked the 2nd and 3rd. Twelve strains were fungi.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Drug resistance to antibiotics in our burn ward may be related to the beta-lactamases from acinetobacter baumannii and multiple-drug-resistance of MRSA.
