    AbstractDespite major advances in burn wound management and other supportive care regimens, infection remains the leading cause of morbidity in the thermally injured patient. Changes in nursing practices and patient isolation have played a significant role in reducing the incidence of burn wounds and other infections, particularly those that result from cross-contamination in the hospitalized burn patient. This article focuses on the sources of the most common infections seen in burn centers today and on the infection control strategies developed for their prevention and treatment.
