Abstract
A study was carried out to determine the pattern of in vitro antibiotic sensitivity of a cross section of the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from diverse clinical sources during a one year period. One hundred and eighty-six isolates were investigated by disc diffusion method employing multidiscs. Majority of the isolates were sensitive to amikacin (89.7%), tobramycin (75.81%), norfloxacin (68.48%), piperacillin (68.25%), and ceftazidime (58.81%). Other antibiotics were effective for a lesser number of isolates. A few isolates were simultaneously resistant to several antibiotics, viz. gentamicin, carbenicillin, tobramycin, ceftazidime and augmentin. The significance of the findings is discussed.
