Antibiotic resistance study of clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated at “Laboratoire National de Santé Publique” of Ouagadougou

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, résistance aux antibiotiques, Burkina FasoAbstract
Introduction: The massive and repeated use of antibiotics in human, animal and environmental health facilities has generated over time an increase in bacterial resistance. Thus, the repeated or punctual antibiotic use can lead to the emergence of resistant bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa making subsequent antibiotic treatments less effective.
Objective: To study the resistance profile of P. aeruginosa strains to antibiotics, isolated at Laboratoire National de Santé Publique
Methodology: This was a retrospective and prospective study from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. During our study, P. aeruginosa strains were isolated from pus and urine using conventional bacteriological techniques. For the antibiotic’s resistance study, 15 antibiotics were tested using the criteria of the Antibiogram Committee of the French Society of Microbiology version 2015.
