| Abstract | ||
| The goal of the current investigation was to separate and characterize the microbes linked to burn injuries. From burn patients admitted to the burn unit of Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital in Diwaniyah City, Iraq, a total of 120 burn wound swabs were collected. The swabs were cultivated on various medium, and the phenotypic and cultural traits were used to diagnosis the colonies. Gram staining and cultural characteristics allowed VITEK® 2 Compact Automated Systems to diagnosis the bacteria. And in the case of fungi, both macro and micro traits were important. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most prevalent pathogen among the five different bacterial isolates, accounting for 25.2% of the total. Other common pathogens included Staphylococcus aureus (23.3%), Escherichia coli (15.3%), Klebsiella pneumonia (9.8%), and Enterococcus faecalis (6.8%). And two isolated fungus species, Aspergillus niger [2.4%) and Candida glabrata [17.2%]. | ||
