Abstract
Bacteria of genus acinetobacter, invariably susceptible
to many antibiotics earlier have emerged as a multidrug
resistant opportunistic pathogen in recent years.
Unwarranted and unrestricted usage of an antibiotic is
associated with drug resistance in thereat in infections by
acinetobacter species. Rapid detection of Metallo – Betalactamase
starins can be done to prevent their dissemtination.
The present study is undertaken to know antibiotic
sensitivity pattern of acinetobacter species and screen the
imipenem resistant starins for Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBL)
production by various phenotypic methods.
