    AbstractInfection still remains one of the major problems in burn treatment. The authors investigated the occurrence of burn wound pathogens in burn wound biopsies and/or semiquantitative wound surface off-prints. As the results have shown, trends of a decreased contribution of "classical pathogens", like Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to burn wound infections were observed. The role of "other pathogens", like Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, etc., which were quite rare in the past, is on the opposite, increasing. One of the explanations can be the increasing rate of early surgical treatment methods of deep burns. The results were in accordance with similar studies from other burn centres.
