N2  - Infections are most common cause of morbidity and mortality in burned patients due to destruction of skin barrier. In this study, we aimed to determine most common microorganisms and their antibiotic susceptibility detected in wound cultures of these patients. Sixty six positive wound cultures were detected in patients admitted to burn clinic of Denizli State hospital between November, 2008 and November, 2009 and were evaluated in the study. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by disc diffusion method in cases with positive culture results. The most frequently encountered microorganisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21.2%), methicilline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (19.7%), and Acinetobacter species (15.1%). Duration of hospital stay was signifi cantly longer in patients with Gram negative infections (p<0.05). Antibiotic resistant hospital infections are frequently seen in burned patients. Culture results and antibiotic susceptibility tests are very useful to determine treatment protocol in these patients
