Burn wound is one of the most common causes which damaged skin, followed by different bacteria infections. The aim of this study is to identify causetive agents of burn wound infections and also to determine sensitivity of isolated to current antibiotics. In a cross-sectional descriptive study a total of 465 burned patients who hospitalized in Imam Khomeini hospital of Hamadan were investigated during 1996-1998. The samples were also collected from different parts of burns section and identified by standard methods. The drugs sensitivity of isolates were detected by agar disk diffusion of Kirby Bauer method. In this study causes and rate of burning were studied in burn patients 538 bacterial strains were isolated and frequency of Pseudomonas was 32.7%. This was followed by Klebsiella 24.8% and Staphilococus aureus 21.2%. The most effective antibiotic were ciprpfloxacin, ceftazidime and amikacin. The most cause of burning was because of boiled water 32.8% and lowest cause was vecause of cooler, 73.6% burns was unintentional and 26.4% intentional. The results of present study indicated that the burn wound infection still is a major problem in hospitals. Bacterial drugs resistance is also other problem for burned patients, S0, prevention and control of hospital acquired infections is necessary for burn section of hospitals.
