Article Synopsis
- Infection is a major issue for burn patients, particularly in pediatric cases, leading researchers to study bacterial colonizers in burn wounds to improve treatment and outcomes.
- A retrospective analysis of 106 children with minor and moderate burns revealed that a high percentage had positive wound cultures, indicating the common presence of bacteria, mostly Gram-positive, in their wounds at admission.
- The study found that only a small fraction of the bacteria were sensitive to the prophylactic antibiotics given, and patients with colonized wounds experienced longer hospital stays compared to those without bacterial colonization.
