Abstract

"We focused on analyzing the antimicrobial susceptibility and phenotypic patterns of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the skin of hospitalized burn patients. By investigating the susceptibility profiles of Staphylococcus aureus strains and identifying specific phenotypic characteristics, the research aims to shed light on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and the diversity of strains present on the skin of burn patients in healthcare settings. Understanding the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and phenotypic traits of Staphylococcus aureus in this context is crucial for informing infection control measures, guiding antibiotic therapy, and preventing the spread of resistant strains within burn units. The findings of this study may contribute to the development of targeted interventions and antimicrobial stewardship programs to optimize patient care and reduce the risk of infections in hospitalized burn patients.
