| Abstract: | Antimicrobial sensitivities of 100 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from various clinical specimens and the environment, were done for gentamicin, carbenicillin, amikacin, polymyxin B sulphate and tetracycline, using standard techniques.Amikacin followed by carbenicillin and polymyxin B sulphate were found to be currently the drugs of choice for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections in Zaria.The usefulness of monitoring antibiogram and the judicious use of effective antimicrobialagents in the therapy of Pseudomonas infections is stressed. |
