- Abstract
The present paper evaluates bacteriological examinations of burns wound patients treated at University Hospital Centre, Tirana. From January—June 2011, samples from wounds of 16 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and 225 burns ward patients were collected. Information on antibiotic resistance of the strains isolated is also provided. Among the microbes identified, Acinetobacter sp. was predominant, while Pseudomonas and Staphylococci were also found to be common. The level of antimicrobial resistance was high, a typical feature of hospital strains.
