Isolation Frequency and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Species from Clinical Materials

spp . were the most frequently isolated in July (10.4%), but lowest in February (5.6%). Half of Pseudomonas spp . were isolated from sputum (48.2%). In the susceptibility analysis of Pseudomonas spp . by VITEK Ⅱ AST cards, the Pseudomonas spp showing higher susceptibility against antimicrobial agents were piperacillin/tazobactam (82.7%) in P. aeruginosa ; amikacin (84.7%), colistin (83.3%) in P. putida; and amikacin (96.3%), cefepime (87.5%), ceftazidime (87.5%) ciprofloxacin (92.3%), colistin (88.5%) gentamicin (96.2%), isepamicin (96,1%), meropenem (92.3%), netilmicin (96.0%), piperacillin/ tazobactam (95.4%) and tobramycin (92.6%) in P. fluorescens .
