Objective: To investigate infection distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on burned patients in our hospital as well as its drug resistance in order to provide reference of clinical use of antibiotics. Methods: Statistically analysed 481 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their drug sensitive test results from burned patients who were sent to hospital from January 2004 to December 2006. Results: In our hospital, among those who were infected with pathogenic bacteria, the number of burned patients who suffered from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has increased each year. Such pathogen is resistant to a variety of broad-spectrum antibiotics at different degrees. From January 2004 to December 2006, the multiple drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has also been increased. Conclusion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major multiple drug resistant pathogenic bacteria that infects burned patients. This research shows that using antibiotics on patients who are infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is still the best way to slow its drug resistance.
