A high rate of mixed-EBSI is among EBSI, and Acinetobacter baumannii is the second predominant co-existed species, except for Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. Burn injury and length of prior hospital stay are independent risk factors for mixed-EBSI. Although the mortality is not different, patients with mixed-EBSI might have poor outcomes in comparison with mono-EBSI, which merits more attention by physicians in the future.
