Background: Burns rank among the most prevalent and severe types of injuries. Severe thermal damage patients need to receive expert care right away in order to reduce their risk of morbidity and death. Despite rigorous treatment with topical and parenteral antibiotics, sepsis and burn wound infection cause 50% to 60% of fatalities in burn patients. Aim: To investigate the burn wound bacteriological pattern in patients who come to a tertiary care facility. Materials and Methods: A total of 112 swab culture samples and 56 blood culture samples were obtained for this prospective observational study, which included 56 patients admitted to the burns ward at Government General Hospital. The samples were processed at the laboratory of the institution, government general hospital. Results: 15 samples (28.3%) and 38 samples (71.7%) of the 56 swab culture isolates were gram positive and gram negative, respectively. The major organism identified from 16 (28.50%) of the study's second-week culture samples was the gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella. Conclusion: This study focuses on the microbiological etiology, and microbial analysis of burn wounds, with a particular emphasis on the methodologies for culturing and surveillance of burn wound infections.
