Abstract EN
In this study fifteen isolates of Burkholderia cepacia were isolated from (878) different clinical specimens collected from patients admitted to Al-Hashemyia General Hospital in Hilla city.
The isolates were identified depending on their morphological properties and biochemical reaction, and underwent to Vitek 2 Compact system to confirm diagnosis.
It was found that the highest percentage of isolation was from sputum specimens (53.3%).
Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were studied, and the results revealed that imipenem was the most effective antibiotic against B.
cepacia with susceptibility percentage (93.3%) followed by chloramphenicol (86.7%), erythromycin, trimethoprim – Sulfamethoxazole and levofloxacin with (73.3%).
They exhibited moderate sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidine (66.7%), tetracycline (60%), while B.
cepacia isolates showed high resistance to gentamycin and oxacillin with (86.7%), (93.3%) respectively.
B.
cepacia isolates showed double and multiple resistance, and resistogram profiles were ranging from (6.7-33.3%), and showed commonest multiple drug resistance among inpatients B.
