Transferable Resistance to Carbenicillin and Gentamicin in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>


A.J. van Rensburg

Abstract

Antibiograms on 482 routine isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa yielded 64 (13,3%) carbenicillin-resistant strains. In 40 of these strains resistance could be ascribed to R factors. R factors accounted for resistance in 3 out of 11 gentamicin-resistant strains. The significance of resistance in Ps. aeruginosa is discussed.
