Abstract :

Introduction: The present study was planned to identify the nonfermenters isolated from various clinical samples, to assess their clinical significance, to know the type of healthcare-associated infections they caused, and to know their anti-microbial sensitivity pattern. Material and Methods: The nonfermenters were identified using a standard conventional method including motility, oxidase production; oxidation-fermentation etc. and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed with the help of the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Observations and Results: The most common isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (65.32%) followed by Acinetobacter baumanii (32.61%) etc. Conclusion: P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii are the most common NFGNB isolates causing UTI, septicemia, SSI and respiratory tract infection. Both has shown emerging resistance to imipenem. Only 100% sensitive antibiotics were Polymyxin and Colistin to them.
