ABSTRACT
152 nonfermentative bacteria were isolated from a total number of 965 clinical samples processed routinely in the laboratory of Microbiology Department, M.K.C.G Medical College in South Orissa accounting to a prevalence rate of 15.75%. Pseudomonas spp. (both pigmented and non-pigmented strains) were isolated in maximum percentage (73.6%) followed by Acinetobacter spp. (19.7%) and Alkaligenes faecalis (4.6%). Rarely encountered species were Eikenella corrodens (1.3%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophila (0.6%). Pus from various sites was the major source (116; 76%). 81% of all isolates were sensitive to amikacin and 74% to ofloxacin. Sensitivity to cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, tobramycin, gentamicin and netlimycin ranged from 53% to 68%. Least effective drugs were carbenicillin and ceftriaxone (48% each).
