ABSTRACT Objectives: Pseudomonas is one of the important bacterial pathogens isolated from various clinical samples. Several studies indicate that resistance patterns are increasing nowadays. The present study was done to assess the Prevalence of Pseudomonas infection and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of pseudomonas isolated from various clinical samples. Materials and Methods: A total of 697 samples were cultured out of them 71 pseudomonas isolates from different clinical samples, e.g. urine, pus.csf, sputum, and blood were tested for antibiotic susceptibility pattern using modified disk diffusion method as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guideline (CLSI) Results: Prevalence of Pseudomonas infection is 10.18% detected at GMERS medical college and Hospital, Valsad, Gujarat, India. Major part of Pseudomonas isolates were detected from wounds. Conclusion: Prevalence of Pseudomonas is higher in surgical patients and Multi-drug resistant isolates are also present in this institute.
KEYWORDS: Pseudomonas, Kirbey bour disk diffusion method, Antibiotic susceptibility pattern.
