Abstract	Background: Burns are the most common & devitalising forms of trauma. Infections are the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in these patients.Approximately 75% of mortality following burns are because of infection. Aims and objectives: This study was conducted to determine the bacteriological profile of burn wound infection along with evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the organism isolated Material and methods: Samples from 110 burn patients were collected. Organisms were isolated and identified using standard microbiological methods. AST was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method an ESBL detection done by combined disc test. Results: High culture positivity(92.72%) was seen in our study.Females were affected more. Predominant burning agent was flame (86.3%).Isolation rate of gram negative bacilli was higher compared to gram positive cocci. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was predominant offending agent in 42.4% of cases followed by Staphylococcus aureus . 94.7% of our Staphylococcal isolates were found to be MRSA and 55% of gram negative isolates are ESBL producing. The MRSA isolates were found to be sensitive to Vancomycin and Linezolid and the gram negative organisms were found to be sensitive to Imipenem. Conclusion: Careful microbiological survillence antibiotic susceptibility testing shoud be done before the start of antibiotic therapy.Following hospital antibiotic policy will help grately in prevention and treatment of MDR isolates in burn units thus reducing overall morbidity and mortality
