PREVALENCE AND ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED FROM VARIOUS CLINICAL SAMPLES AT ELMC&H

Abstract

To identify P. aeruginosa prevalence in different clinical samples along with to. Evaluate its antibiotic sensitivity method isolated from variety of clinical. Over the course of the six- month trial period, 1200 samples in total were analyzed. To identify and isolate P. aeruginosa, each of them underwent direct microscopy and culture. In this study 63 P. aeruginosa were isolated and identified out of 1200 clinical samples. Pus and urine were where the majority of P. aeruginosa were isolated from specimens. There found sensitivity to Piperacilin- tazobactam (10µg) 35% and Gentamycin (10µg) 38% respectively by kirbey-Bauer disc diffusion method. As an opportunistic organism with a high prevalence that is growing more common due to antimicrobial agent resistance, P. aeruginosa may pose a risk to health.
