The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the mucoid and nonmucoid isolates along with their antibiogram from respiratory samples.
A total of 220 isolates of P. aeruginosa were obtained from various clinical specimens and 72 from respiratory samples.
Out of the 72 respiratory samples, 15 (20.83%) were mucoid strains and 57 (79.87%) nonmucoid strains. The mucoid colonies showed high resistance to antibiotics, such as co-trimoxazole (COT) (73.33%), ciprofloxacin (CIP) (60%), and ceftazidime (CAZ) (53.33%), whereas high resistance rate among the nonmucoid isolates were seen in (COT) (78.95%), (CIP) (71.93%), (CAZ) (54.39%), cefepime (52.63%).
The antibiotic susceptibility pattern helps in constituting the guidelines for treatment and management of the infections by
