BACKGROUND: Developments in critical care and surgical approaches to treating
burn wounds, together with newer antimicrobial treatments, have significantly
reduced the morbidity and mortality rates associated with this injury. METHODS:
Review of the pertinent English-language literature. RESULTS: Several resistant
organisms have emerged as the maleficent cause of invasive infection in burn
patients, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,
vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, non-albicans
Candida spp., and Aspergillus. Advances in antimicrobial therapies and the
release of new classes of antibiotics have certainly added to the armamentarium
of therapeutic resources for the clinician. CONCLUSION: Strict infection control
measures, constant wound surveillance with regular sampling of tissues for
quantitative culture, and early excision and wound closure remain the principal
adjuncts to control of invasive infections in burn patients.
