Abstract

The fundamental objective of this research was to demonstrate the antimicrobial spectrum of Nitrofurazone, against cultured bacteria from the Burn Patient Care Center, CAINPAQ, of the Coromoto Hospital. The research was applied and descriptive, being a feasible project, with a laboratory and transversal experimental design. The data were collected by the researcher through direct observation at the CAINPAQ facilities, as well as in the Bacteriology Laboratory of the Coromoto Hospital in the city of Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela. The information was processed statistically and organized in tables, tables and/or graphs, through descriptive statistics for the analysis of the research results. It was concluded that Nitrofurazone does not have antimicrobial properties, nor antibacterial effects inhibiting the growth of the strains subjected to the study, it did not generate inhibition in the growth halos nor did it generate oxidative changes in its structure and it did not produce staining effects to differentiate to Gram positive or Gram negative strains.
