Throughout
this study, multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa was isolated from neonatal infections in order to detectthe genes being responsible of antibiotic resistance in these bacteria by molecular
technique (PCR). Antibiotic sensitivity
test results
demonstrated that P. aeruginosa have (100%) resistance against each Carbenicillin,
Amoxyclave, Cephalothin and Rifampicin, and high level resistance ?70% for most
other antibiotics.While 0% resistance (100% sensitivity) was shown against each IPM, MRP. The results of minimum inhibitory
concentration,MIC, by
using HiComb test showed that P.
aeruginosa has 100% resistance for Amoxyclave (4-240?g/ml), 70% for Cloramphenicol(4-120
?g/ml), 60% for
Cefepem(16-128
?g/ml), 50% for Ciprofloxacin(0.5-120 ?g/ml), 30%
for Amikacin(0.032-128 ?g/ml), 20% for Piperacillin(5-120 ?g/ml) and 10% for
Ceftazidime(8-64 ?g/ml). PCR results demonstrated that among 35
isolates of P. aeruginosa, highest incidence 51.4%have arr-2 gene followed by 49% have aac(3)I and 37%have blaCARB.
