Abstract

Infection is the leading cause of death and prolonged hospitalization in severely burned patients that survive the acute phase of injury. Here we describe a murine model of severe burn injury followed by subsequent postburn infection, both local and systemic, that leads to sepsis. A detailed description of the full-thickness scald burn procedure is provided, followed by description of infection with two common burn-associated nosocomial pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
