ABSTRACT
Bacteria of genus acinetobacter, invariably susceptible to many antibiotics earlier have emerged as a multidrug resistant opportunistic pathogen in recent years. Unwarranted and unrestricted usage of an antibiotic is associated with drug resistance in thereat in infections by acinetobacter species. Rapid detection of Metallo – Betalactamase starins can be done to prevent their dissemtination. The present study is undertaken to know antibiotic sensitivity pattern of acinetobacter species and screen the imipenem resistant starins for Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBL) production by various phenotypic methods.
