Abstract

Pseudomonas is one of the most common gram negative microorganism identified in the clinical specimen of hospital indoor and outdoor patients. This was a retrospective study done among the patients attending Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital during January to December 2012. A total 457 patients with Pseudomonas were isolated of which 274 (60%) as indoor patient and 183 (40%) was outdoor patients. Males predominated being 251 (55%) while 206 (45%) was females. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 15-29 years. Urine was the most common specimens (70%) and others (pus, swab, blood etc) were (30%). Throughout our 12 years observation , it was found that imipenem and meropenem are the most effective drugs against Pseudomonas followed by amikacin and ciprojloxacin.
