Antibiotic resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a university-affiliated hospital in North Cyprus

Abstract

Objective: Infections caused by resistant gramnegative bacteria to antimicrobials occur at increasing rates. Therefore, routine screening of resistance patterns is crucial for treatment approaches using proper antibiotics. Nevertheless, there is not enough data with respect to antibiotic resistance profiles in North Cyprus. This study was conducted in order to investigate the resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae which were isolated from the Near East University (NEU) Hospital, North Cyprus.
