| Abstract | ||
| In this study fifteen isolates of Burkholderia cepacia were isolated from (878) different clinical specimens collected from patients admitted to Al-Hashemyia General Hospital in Hilla city. The isolates were identified depending on their morphological properties and biochemical reaction, and underwent to Vitek 2 Compact system to confirm diagnosis. It was found that the highest percentage of isolation was from sputum specimens (53.3%). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were studied, and the results revealed that imipenem was the most effective antibiotic against B. cepacia with susceptibility percentage (93.3%) followed by chloramphenicol (86.7%), erythromycin, trimethoprim –Sulfamethoxazole and levofloxacin with (73.3%). They exhibited moderate sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidine (66.7%), tetracycline (60%), while B. cepacia isolates showed high resistance to gentamycin and oxacillin with (86.7%), (93.3%) respectively. B. cepacia isolates showed double and multiple resistance, and resistogram profiles were ranging from (6.7-33.3%), and showed commonest multiple drug resistance among inpatients B. cepacia isolates | ||
