Incidence of multi-resistant gram-negative isolates

ABSTRACT

An in vitro study on the prevalence of resistance of major antibiotic in 309 Gram-negtaive aerobic bacilli isolated from Intensive Care unit and Medium Care Surgical Units in a Mohandse Hospital. A customized dry microtitre panel carrying 16 antimicrobials over an extended concentration range was used for susceptibility testing. The study revealed a wide spread resistance to broad- spectrum penicillins, a high incidence of resistance to aminoglycosides and a still relatively high susceptibility to imipenem and ciprofloxacin
