Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and is the leading cause of nosocomial infections especially among patients admitted to ICU and burn units. It has natural resistance as well as acquired multi drug resistance to various antibiotics leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Aim of the study is to isolate P. aeruginosa from burn and ICU patients and to evaluate multidrug resistance. Samples were collected from 100 patients from both ICUs and burn unit for a period of 15 months. Samples were processed in the Microbiology laboratory by standard bacteriological methods. | MDR pseudomonas aeruginosa in nosocomial infection: Burden in ICU and burn units of a Tertiary Care Hospital
