| Popis: | Introduction: In recent years, considerable increase in the prevalence and multidrug resistance (MDR) in P.aeruginosa has been noticed with high morbidity and mortality. Aim of the present study was to determine the status of antimicrobial susceptibility to anti Pseudomonal agents and to detect Metallo Beta lactamase. Material and Methods- This study was conducted on 100 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The organisms were identified on the basis of their cultural characteristics and biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility of all the isolates was performed by the Kirby- bauer disc-diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. MBL producing P. aeruginosa were detected by phenotypic method IPM-EDTA combined disc synergy test. Results- In present study P. aeruginosa were most sensitive to Colistin followed by Polymyxin- B, Piperacilli/Tazobactam, Cefoperazone/Sulbactam, Imipenem, Meropenem, Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Gentamycin, Ceftazidime, Tobramycin and Aztreonam. 32 isolates were imipenem resistant and out of 32 isolates, 20 were MBL producers detected by IPM-EDTA combined disc synergy test. Conclusions- Colistin and Polymyxin-B are more effective to treat multidrug resistant P.aeruginosa. The early detection of MBL producing P. aeruginosa may help in appropriate anti-Pseudomonal therapy to stop the development & dissemination of multidrug resistance strains. |
