چکیده
Methods The study included a total of 1516 samples of which 892 were from pus and 624 were from sputum collected from patients at Meenakshi Medical College and Research Institute, Kanchipuram from Nov 2010 to August 2011. Samples were processed and identified according to standard protocol. The Acinetobacter spp. isolates were tested for antibiotic resistance against 16 antibiotics by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method (CLSI guidelines).

Background and purpose: Acinetobacter spp. is a non-fermentative gram- negative bacterium involving in various nosocomial infections. During last decade increasing number of multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter spp. have been reported. This type of resistance is possibly related to efflux pumps. This research aimed at identifying the phonotypic and genotypic characteristics of efflux p...
