Abstract:
Background: Strains caused by hospital-acquired infections as acommon rule havehigh multiantimicrobial resistance andincrease the dispersal risks ofthese strains. Objectives: To learn about the status of multidrug resistance in ubiquitous and dominant pseudomonas aeruginosa in Ha Noi hospital. Subjects and method: 138nosocomial Pseudomonas aerug.\r\n', u'Results:114 nosocomial Pseudomonas aerug- inosa isolates from Hanoi hospital were studied in relation to their antibiotic susceptibilities and the results showed the ratesof resistance to antibiotics among beta lactams ranged from 29 to 41.7%; quinolones ranged from 45.7% to 47.3%; cephems ranged from 64.1 % to 74.4% and aminoglyy cosides ranged from 41.1 to 74,6%. Of the five dominant serogroups O12 (27.2%); O11 (18.4%); O16 (11.4%); O5 (6.1%) and O2 (5.3%). Multidrug resistance rates in the major serogroups were O16 (100%); O11 (95.2%); and O12 (93.5%).Conclusion: Efforts to monitor antibiotic resistance of hospital bacteria strainsnationalwide, regional and local levels is necessary to provide physicians with the selection of information for effective treatment. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'
