We analyzed the in vitro antibiotic susceptible pattern and serovar for 132 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa (98 from inpatients and 34 from outpatients) isolated at Showa University hospital from September to December of 1993. The ratio of resistant strains was 38.6% for carbenicillin, 12.1% for piperacillin, 12.9% for ceftazidime, 12.1% for cefsulodin, 17.4% for cefoperazone, 9.1% for cefclidin, 24.2% for cefpirome, 7.6% for imipenem, 17.4% for amikacin, 16.7% for aztreonam, 89.4% for minocycline and 33.3% for ofloxacin. The incidence of resistance against minocycline, carbenicillin, ofloxacin was markedly high. Among the 132 tested strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 16 were multi-drug resistant strains (i.e., resistant to more than 8 drugs out of 12 drugs), and 14 of the multi-drug resistant strains (87.5%) were isolated from inpatients. Multi-drug resistant strains were isolated most frequently from urine specimens. The antibiotics that remained effective against the multi-drug resistant strains included amikacin, imipenem, cefclidin and cefsulodin. The serovar of 116 strains (resistant to up to 7 drugs) was 27 for G, 24 for B, and 19 for E, and 15 of the 16 multi-drug resistant strains showed serovar E. Restriction enzyme SpeI digestion analysis (using pulse field electrophoresis) of P. aeruginosa having serovar E revealed common 650kb and 540kb bands in multi-drug resistant strains. The genome pattern was quoted for serovar E strain according to the restriction enzyme digestion pattern and was shown to be useful for tracing the route of infection.
