Genotyping and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn ward of sina hospital in Tabriz

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the important nosocomial Gram-negative bacilli which are resistant to most of antimicrobial agents and antibiotics. This opportunistic bacterium is capable of causing life threatening infections in patients, especially in those with immunodeficiency such as those in ICUs and burn wards. This study was conducted to detect antibiotic susceptibility and also molecular typing of P. aeruginosa isolates from burn infections by using RAPD [Random amplified polymorphic DNA]
