A total of 100 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated form urine(35), wound(34), sputum(16), and other clinical specimens, and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility to 21 drugs including 6 drugs of quinolones, 5 of β-lactam
antibiotics,
5 of
aminoglycosides, and 5 other drugs.
Among the 100 strains of P. aeruginosa, 26% of the strains wee resistant to norfloxacin, 32-35% to ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, and moxalactam, 41-61% to enoxacin, carbenicillin, gentamicin, tobramycin, and rifampin, and 85-100% to the
other 10
drugs.
MIC 90% of the majority of drugs tested were higher than tested antimicrobial concentration except ciprofloxacin, rifampin, and moxalactam. All strains were found to be resistant to more than 3 drugs and 83 strains were resistant to more than 10
drugs.
