| Abstract: | A total of 51Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains had been isolated over a year from patients with tumor diseases in theNational Institute of Oncology in Bratislava. All strains were subjected to serotyping; in 45 strains quantitative susceptibility to selected antibiotics
was determined by the microdilution method. When comparing susceptibility of individual serotypes, resistance of strains belonging
to serotype O12 to a number ofβ-lactam, aminoglycoside and quinolone antibiotics was found. In addition, resistant strains occurred even among serotype O4
and polyagglutinating strains. The resistant strains as causative agents of nosocomial infections may represent a serious
risk particularly for patients of oncological wards. |
