Background & Objectives: Burn injury mortality and septic complication are frequent and well-known in burned pediatric patients. The overuse of antibiotics is the base for development of wound infection by resistant microorganisms as well as opportunist agents. Methods: We have carried out a study of the bacterial profile and antimicrobial resistance clinically important bacteria isolated from burn wound infections in children patients. The most common isolate from burn wound cultures was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.8%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (12.7%), coagulase negative staphylococcus (12.0%), Enterococcus faecium (7.7%), Escherichia coli (4.9%), Enterococcus faecalis (3.7%), Burkholderia cepacia (3.0%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.3%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (2.3%). Colistin was very significantly effective drug in gram negative organism, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Results & Conclusion: The resistance rates were 65% and 98% to piperacillin, 63% and 97% to ceftazidime, 28% and 50% to levofloxacin. The most effective antibiotic in gram positive organism, such as Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative staphylococcus were moxifloxacin. The resistance rates were 83% and 64% to ciprofloxacin, 80% and 17% to clindamycin.
