The results of bacterial contamination of dangerous and borderline cases of burns

The aim is to study the microbiological picture of purulent inflammation of superficial local burns in the center of thermal lesions of Samara.Material and methods. The etiological structure of local burn infection was analyzed in 29 patients with limited, borderline burns of I-II degree in all phases of the wound process. The collection of wound material was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Methodological Guidelines of MU 4.2.2039-05 "Technique of collecting and transporting biomaterials to microbiological laboratories". The material was delivered to the laboratory in test tubes with a transport medium under isothermal conditions at a temperature of 20-22 °C within a day after collection.Results. The analysis of the etiological structure of burn infection showed that staphylococcus (St. aureus, St. warneri, St. gallinarium, St. spp, St. epidermidis) plays a leading role in microbiological examination - in 26 patients (89.6 %) and E. coli (E. coli) in 11 (37.9 %). There were no significant differences in the studied signs in the comparison groups (p > 0.05, p = 0.55, χ2 = 3.841).Conclusion. The obtained results of the etiological structure of purulent inflammation of limited burns are statistically reliable and can be used in the development of antibacterial agents for the treatment of burn infection.
