title: [Identification of Pseudomonas species isolated from various clinical specimens and their susceptibility to ofloxacin].
abstract: In this study Pseudomonas species isolated from various clinical specimens were identified and susceptibility of these species to ofloxacin was investigated. The identification of 88 Pseudomonas isolates was performed according to their pigment production, type of haemolysis, growth on cetrimide medium and growth at 42 degrees C. Oxidase test was also employed to all of these strains. Macrodilution method was used in order to investigate in vitro activity of ofloxacin against these strains. All of 88 isolates were identified as P. aeruginosa. Ofloxacin was found to have an MIC 50 value of 2 micrograms/ml and an MIC 90 value of 16 micrograms/ml for these isolates. Susceptibility to ofloxacin was observed in 86.4% of 88 P. aeruginosa.
