The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance phenotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. During this study we isolated 641 bacterial strains. We identified 83 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, mainly from bronchial aspirate and wound secretions. 36 of the 83 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were mixed with other bacterial strains. 43,37% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were wild types, 14,46% high penicillinase producers, 21,69% were extended spectrum betalactamase producers and 9,64% cephalosporinase overproducing strains.
