Abstract

Background: METALLO-BETA-LACTAMASE (MBL) producing PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA in the BURN PATIENTS is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and remains a serious health concern among the clinicians.Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect MBL-producing P. aeruginosa in BURN PATIENTS, determine multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, and the respective resistance patterns.Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 270 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated from the BURN PATIENTS referred to Ghotbeddin Burn Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. Among them, 55 MBL-producing P. aeruginosa strains were isolated from 55 patients hospitalized in burn unit. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and MBLs were determined by the E-test method.Results: Of the 55 burn cases, 29 (53%) were females and 26 (47%) males. Injured BURN PATIENTS' ages ranged from 16 to 87 years, with maximum number of cases in the age group of 16 to 36 years (n, 40; 72.7%). Overall, 32 cases were accidental (60%), and 22 were suicidal burns (40%). Of the 55 BURN PATIENTS, 17 cases were expired (30%). All deaths were due to chemical exposures. In antibiotic susceptibility testing by E-test method, ceftazidime was the most effective one and 35 isolates (63.5%) were resistant to all the 11 tested antibiotics.Conclusions: Routine microbiological surveillance and careful in vitro testing of antibiotics prior to prescription and strict adherence to hospital antibiotic policy may help to prevent, treat, and control MDR and pandrug -resistant (PDR) P. aeruginosa strains in burn units.
