Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. In this study 50 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in Kerman, Iran over one year [May 1999-ApriI20...

Background: Increasing resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin in ICU/burn units has created a problem in the treatment of infections caused by this microorganism. Methods: Fifty P. aeruginosa strains were isolated from burn patients hospitalized in the Kerman Hospital during May 1999-April 2000 and were tested for in-vitro sensitivity to different antibiotics by disc diffusion br...

Introduction: In recent years, antibiotic resistance has been on the rise, leading to limited ways to control nosocomial infections (especially surgical site infections) and the right treatment options. The main purpose of this study was the pattern of antibiotic resistance and the frequency of plasmid-dependent quinolone resistance (qnr) genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Kl...
