Dissemination of Aminoglycosides Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates in Al-Nasseryia Hospitals Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract

Abstract

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the primary opportunistic pathogens responsible fornosocomial infections. Aminoglycosides are an important component of antipseudomonalchemotherapy. Aim of the study: Investigate the occurrence of aminoglycoside resistance and the incidence of the 16S rRNA methylase and resistance-modifying enzyme genes in P. aeruginosa isolated from several hospitals in Al-Nasseryia province.Methods: Atotal of 355 clinical isolates were collected from three main hospitals in Al-Nasseryia city.
