Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The prime intention of this study was the evaluation & accumulation of epidemiological data on the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and to compare the activity of different third generation cephalosporins against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For this purpose Modified Kirby-Bauer Method was used for the determination of sensitivity of antibacterial agents using strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 as control. Total 250 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from different public and private hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. In-vitro qualities (i.e. sensitive, resistant and intermediate) of six members of third generation cephalosporins (Cefoperazone, Ceftazidime, Ceftizoxime, Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone and Cefixime) were reviewed. Results showed that Cefoperazone was the most effective antibacterial agent (80% sensitive), while the second most effective antibacterial agent was Ceftazidime (70% sensitive). Cefotaxime and Ceftizoxime also showed intermediate activity. Cefixime and Ceftriaxone didn’t show any supportive activity i.e. 0% sensitive at all.
