Distribution of resistance plasmid among clinical and environmental isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa

الملخص EN

The present study has been designed to explain the role of plasmid in distribution of antibiotic resistance among clinical and environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A total of 60 clinical and environmental isolates of P.

aeruginosa has been collected.

All isolates showed highly antibiotic resistance to 6 commercial available antibiotics.

Plasmid profile of 20 isolates from clinical and environmental source showed the presence of different plasmid in these isolates.

Similarity in antibiotic resistance pattern and plasmid profile between clinical and environmental isolate confirmed the role of plasmid in distribution of resistance genes.
