A study conducted by the Department of Biochemistry focused on multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria commonly found in infected wounds. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of P. aeruginosa in wounds, evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility, and assess their ability to form biofilms and produce pyocyanin. The research found that 26% of the study population had P. aeruginosa in their infected wounds, and all isolates were resistant to streptomycin and paromomycin. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was observed between biofilm formation, pyocyanin production, and antibiotic resistance. The presence of strong biofilm producers of P. aeruginosa in infected wounds is a public health concern, and surveillance programs are needed to prevent their spread in hospital settings.
