Abstract

Objective: In recent years, there is an increase in infections caused by non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria especially in intensive care units. The aim of this study is to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from the clinical samples of the patients in intensive care unit.

Methods: In this study, we evaluated 113 patients treated with head trauma in intensive care unit. The sensitivity of P. aeruginosa isolates to antibiotics has been examined by disk diffusion method according to the standards of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

Results: P. aeruginosa was isolated in 14 (12.4%) of patients. Of 14 P. aeruginosa isolates, 6 (42.8%), 6 (42.8%), 5 (35.7%), 4 (28.6%), 3 (21.4%), and 2 (14.3%) were resistant to ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, cefoperazone-sulbactam, amikacin, piperacillin-tazobactam and imipenem, respectively.

Conclusions: To prevent the antibiotic resistance, antibiotic sensitivity should be determined and appropriate antimicrobial usage policies must be developed.
