- Abstract
CF is an inherited disease with morbidity and a decrease in the life span of patients. P. aeruginosa infection is a leading cause of deterioration of lung function in patients with cystic fibrosis. This prospective study aimed at estimating the antimicrobial susceptibility of P. aeruginosa isolated in paediatric patients with CF. 26 isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected. We found out that all strains of P. aeruginosa were β-lactamase producers; the isolated strains were all sensible to imipenem and ciprofloxacin. 100% of strains were resistant to carbenicillin, 37.5% to ticarcillin, 12.5% to piperacillin, 4.4% to ceftazidim, 48% to gentamycin and 8.7% to amikacin.
