The study included the collection of 230 swabs from patients with wound and burn infections from Salah al-Din Hospital from January to October, and a number of chemistry tests diagnosed developing colonies, 154 clinical isolates (96 burn isolates and 58 wound isolates) of the total number of isolates could be diagnosed and the diagnosis was confirmed using the API 20E system. The isolates were found to have multiple antibiotic resistance as all isolates showed 100% resistance to Ampicillin and variable resistance to Norfloxacin, Aztreonam, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin and Trimethoprim (72%, 80%, 86%, 87% and 88%) respectively, and showed sensitivity to Ofloxacin and Piperacillin (80% and 90%), respectively, and high sensitivity to Meropenem and Imipenem (100%).
