ABSTRACT
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections. One thousand two hundred and twenty strains of mucoid and non-mucoid types of P. aeruginosa isolated from different patients were examined at Siriraj Hospital from January 2001-October 2003. The prevalences of P. aeruginosa mucoid type and non-mucoid type were 3.6% and 96.4%, respectively. Susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method as recommended by NCCLS. The isolates with mucoid phenotypes were more susceptible than the non-mucoid isolates. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of both types should provide guidelines for the selection of appropriate drugs for treatment.
