Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Non fermenting gram– negative bacilli (NFGNB) have become an ever increasing problem in recent years. They are inherently resistant to many antibiotics so the aim of present study was to identify NFGNB isolated from various clinical samples and to know their anti–microbial resistant pattern. METHOD: NFGNB isolated from various clinical samples were identified by standard microbiological protocol. Antibiotic suspectibility testing was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 150 NFGNB were isolated from 1730 clinical specimens with isolation rate of 8.67%. The maximum NFGNBs were isolated from pus(56.67%) sample, Pseudomonas aeruginosa(52%) being most common. High resistance was noted to commonly used antibiotics. The prevalence of MBL among imipenem resistant isolates was 69.23%. CONCLUSION: NFGNBs have emerged as an important pathogen and showed high resistance to commonly used antibiotics.
