A retrospective study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolation from clinical sources

Journal of Chemotherapy

Abstract

The incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovery from blood, urine and other clinical specimens as well as its resistance to various antimicrobials during a 5-year period (1982 to 1986) are reported. The susceptibility patterns to newer antipseudomonad agents of 100 randomly selected P. aeruginosa clinical strains isolated in 1987 is also presented. Our results show an overall P. aeruginosa isolation incidence of 10.6%, with its resistance to routinely used antibiotics being high but relatively low to the newer agents which have not been used extensively in our hospital.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
