INTEGRATIVE REVIEW: MOST FOUND MICROORGANISMS IN BURNS (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The skin is the largest organ in the human body, it covers the entire body and is our first barrier against external pathogens, breaking this barrier can cause an imbalance in body homeostasis. Burns are injuries of thermal origin that affect the physiology of the body by causing the skin to break, can cause inflammation along with its classic symptoms, tissue necrosis and promote an ideal environment for the proliferation of opportunistic microorganisms OMS recognizes burns as a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, in Brazil there are one million burns per year of these two thousand five hundred will die. Most of these deaths are due to infections and sepsis resulting from burns. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the most common microorganisms found in burn victims. For this, an integrative review was prepared where the methodology was based primarily on the search for key terms (BURNS INFECTION, BACTERIOLOGY OF BURNS e BACTERIAL COLONIZATION IN BURNS) in databases (SCIELO, LILACS, PUBMED), following inclusion criteria, when this step was applied, 42 articles were pre-selected and only 7 fit all the prerequisites, being then the review sampling. For this research, works produced between 2012 and 2020 were evaluated, the elaboration of the work in all its stages from research and writing to submission were carried out in the period from December 1, 2021 to January 10, 2022. In conclusion, it was possible to observe that men continue to constitute the main group affected by burns and the following microorganisms Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter Sp. Staphylococcus sp., Klebsiellapneumoniae were the most present among bacteria and candida, not albicans how much albicans were the most present organisms among the fungi.
