Purpose: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic organism known for its ability to cause serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa have become a significant global health concern. The study aims to investigate the antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa over the past five years in a tertiary care setting. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective analysis was conducted using clinical data from a tertiary healthcare setting spanning five years (2018-2022). Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from various clinical specimens were included in the study. Standardized procedures were used to perform the antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and the relevant statistical techniques were applied to a.. Read More»
