title: Non-fermenters in human infections.
abstract: One thousand and one hundred thirty non-fermenting gram negative bacteria were isolated from various samples. Of these, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the commonest isolate (72.83%) followed by Acinetobacter anitratus (8.4%), Alcaligenes faecalis (7.6%), Acinetobacter lwoffi (4.4%), Pseudomonas flourescens (2.4%), Schwanella putrefaciens (1.6%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (1.6%), Pseudomonas putida (0.4%), Bravundimonas vesicularis (0.4%) and Flavobacterium meningosepticum (0.4%). Antibiotic sensitivity pattern showed multiple drug resistance pattern with majority of the isolates being resistance to two or more drugs.
