Antibiograms of pathogenic organisms isolated from clinical material and changes in their pattern

ABSTRACT

Sensitivity tests with twenty-four antibacterials on 956 strains of organisms, isolated between 1977 and 1980, showed some important findings, when compared with the results of similar tests on a series of strains isolated between 1971 and 1976. Resistance of different organisms to antibacterials had increased generally. Gentamicin which was the drug of choice for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, no more occupied this position. Its place had been taken by Carbenicillin
