Aim: To find the prevalence of MBL Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa from various clinical specimen. Material and Methods: A total 114 cases from which Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been isolated from Swab, Urine, pus, Sputum, Bal, Foley's catheter, E.T. Secretion received from various clinical departments. The study was carried outovera period of Six months. The isolates were tested by IPM-EDTA Combined Disc Test (CDT) and Imipenem-EDTA double disc synergy test (DDST). Descriptive statistics and chi-square is used with the help of MS Excel and SPSS Version 25 Results: Among 114 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from various clinical specimens, 16 (14.03%) imipenemresistant Pseudomonas isolates. Out of 16 IPM resistant, 15(93.75%) were positive for MBL by CDT-IPM method and 11 (68.75%) were positive by Imipenem-EDTA (DDST) method, respectively. Conclusion: Increase in the resistant pattern of antibiotics can lead to increased morbidity, mortality and economic burden on patients. So it is necessary to detect MBL producing Pseudomonasaeruginosa by simple and effective methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
