Objective. To assess the etiology of infections, microbial associations and antimicrobial resistance in a burn intensive care unit.
Materials and Methods. A microbiological study of 1322 biological samples from 195 patients with extensive burns included 479 blood samples, 82 respiratory samples, 326 urine samples, and 435 wound samples. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed, and coefficients of constancy and associativity (CA), as well as the Jaccard coefficient were calculated.
Results. The etiology of infections was represented by: Pseudomonas aeruginosa – 23%, Acinetobacter baumannii – 19.
