Fluoroquinolones resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from different clinical samples
Keywords:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resistance, fluoroquinolones, antibioticsAbstract
A total of 156 clinical specimens were collected from patients at Al-Sadder Medical City, Al-Furat al-Awsat Hospital, and the burn center between August 2021 and February 2022. According to medical service utilities, Burn center was the highest with total number of samples with 96 samples and the highest recovery rate 17 isolates followed by Alfurat Al-Awsat Hospital with 32 samples and 4 isolates and finally tame Al-Sadder Medical City with only 28 samples and 2 isolates. The results of 23 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed that the most effective agent was ciprofloxacin with (60%) resistance which represents regression in the overall potential while Norfloxacin showed high resistance percentage (73%) (The least effective among them) followed by Ofaloxacin (69%) and levofloxacin with (65%).genetically, the result of aac(6´)-Ib-cr gene showed that 21/23 isolates gave positive result with percentage (91.3%).
