Abstract

V originále

Burn patients are confronted with a variety of potentiallypathogenic microorganisms every day. Although increasingprevalence of micromycetal infections has been observed,especially in the last decade, bacteria remain the dominantpathogens in the etiology of infectious complications in thesepatients. In particular, gram-negative bacteria have a signifi-cant impact on mortality and morbidity of burn patients(Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). One possibleexplanation is a dramatic increase in resistance of thesepathogens (high prevalence of multidrug resistant–MDR–bacterial strains) and the second possibility is an insufficientamount of available and effective antibiotics (especiallyagainst carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceae—CRE).
