Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common organism, which is separated from the burn infections. Due to increased antibiotic resistance, there are many problems to deal with the infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aimed to determine the resistance to antibiotics against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas using phenotype methods. Material and Methods: 100 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from the burn patients in Taleghani hospital in Ahwaz, Iran, during a six-month period. After phenotypically initial identification, antibiotic sensitivity of isolated strains to conventional antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined using a disk diffusion technique, and Phenotypic screening for MBLs production was performed. Results: the maximum percentage was related to wound infection and the frequencies of the resistance to imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, gentamicin, amikacin, and ciprofloxacin, doripenem, ertapenem and colistin sulphate, were 70%, 53%, 83%, 67%, 91%, 88%, 84%, 84%, 33%, 90%, and 0%, respectively. The use of CD Test methods was approved for determining resistance to Carbapenems. Conclusion: antibiotic resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing and colistin sulphate is the most effective antibiotic. Keywords: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa; Burn Infection; Antibiotic Resistance.

Determination antimicrobial resistance profile of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Taleghani Hospital (Ahvaz, Iran) from 2011-2012
Background & Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, glucose-nonfermenting aerobic bacterium. It is widespread in natural environments and it is an opportunistic pathogen for humans that can lead to a broad spectrum of disease such as urinary, burn, respiratory infections, and septicemia. The aim of this study was to determe antibiotic resistance profile of P. aerugino...

Antimicrobial agents have been the only easily and widely used therapeutic option available to counter the infections caused by infectious microbial agents. However, microbial populations have developed various strategies to overcome these microbial agents – a major contributing factor in the development anti-microbial resistance world-wide. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an aerobic, motile, nutriti...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a widespread ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of opportunistic infections in humans and is associated with an ever-widening spectrum of infections and multidrug-resistance phenomena. The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens has become a threat to public health and strongly affects the effectiveness of most currently available antimi...

INTRODUCTION Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative and opportunistic bacterium that causes opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed patients. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the association between exotoxin A and exoenzyme S production with antibiotic resistance patterns. METHODS The toxA and exoS genes were detected in 102 clinical isolates by PCR. Antibiotic suscep...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative opportunistic nosocomial pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections especially among debilitated patients, like burn patients, cystic fibrosis patients and hospitalized patients, particularly those intubated and in intensive care units (ICU). Infections are very difficult to treat due to the high rate of intrinsic, as well as acquired, resistan...
