Abstract EN
In this study the activity of gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidinime impenem, amikacin, tetracycline, penicillin, nalidixic acid and nitrofurantoin was evaluated.
A total of 380 clinical specimens were collected from different hospitals in Khartoum state.
Different types of bacteria were isolated.
These include Staphylococcus aureus (n=37), Escherichia coli (n=70), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=15), Proteus spp.
(n=57) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=67).The study revealed that the profile of antibiotics sensitivity and resistance were as follows: Gentamicin 90.8 and 9.2%, ciprofloxacin 72.1 and 27.9%, ceftazidinime 100.0 and 0.0%, impenem 100.0 and 0.0%, amikacin 94.0 and 6.0%, tetracycline 47.7 and 52.3%, nalidixic acid 65.9 and 34.1% and nitrofurantoin 86.3 and 13.7%, penicillin 16.7 and 83.3% and erythromycin 75.9 and 24.1% respectively.
The study concluded that ceftazidinime and impenem were the most effective antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from wounds.
