Abstract:

Management of Pseudomonas aeruginosa becomes a challenge because of its ability of development of resistance by intrinsic and acquired mechanisms. This resistance mechanism makes the treatment of such pathogen difficult, thus multidrug resistance is acquiring in many strains. The present study aimed to generate the sufficient data regarding the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity data. Various clinical samples of Blood, Pus, Sputum and Urine were collected and then subjected to their identification by Cultural, Biochemical, Morphological identification and then identified by Vitek 2 system. Then, the identified isolates were screened for the antibiotic sensitivity pattern by disc diffusion method. The results were interpreted according to CLSI 2007 guidelines. Out of 300 isolates tested significant resistant to antibiotics, CAZ (73 isolates) then CPZ (56 isolates), DOR (54 isolates), LE & GEN (53 isolates), PB (52 isolates), CTX (46 isolates), MZ (39 isolates), CTR (16 isolates) and CB (15 isolates) were detected. The results obtained in the study shows many antibiotics are losing efficacy. Thus, the result says that it proper legislation, practice and awareness among the community is needed use antibiotic as therapeutic agent in future generation.
