Özet

In the present study, 55 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated from different clinical specimens (wound, urine, pleural exudate, tracheal aspiration fluid, sputum, blood, bile, peritoneal fluid) of hospitalized patients and another group of 55 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from clinical specimens (ear discharge, wound, urine, throat swab) of outpatients. Nine antibiotics (gentamycin, amikacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin, imipenem) were investigated for their antipseudomonal activity against these 110 strains by Kirby-Bauer disk- diffusion technique. The lowest susceptibility rates were found as 5.5% in hospitalized and 29.1% in outpatient related strains for cefotaxime, while the highest rates were found as 89.1% and 98% for imipenem respectively.
