i STUDY OF PSUEDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED FROM WOUND INFECTIONS AND THEIR ANTIBIOGRAM WITH RESPECT TO ESBL AND MBL IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

Abstract

Background and objectives: Emergence of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notable threat. Emergence of ESBLs and MBLs has limited the therapeutic options. Objectives: 1) To isolate and identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa in specimens obtained from wound infections. 2)To study antimicrobial sensitivity of P. aeruginosa by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. 3).To determine ESBL and MBL production in multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from wound infections
