Maximum isolates were obtained from urine samples 5(50%), wound samples 3(30%), burn and sputum samples 1(10%). All isolates were tested for their resistance to (10) different antibiotics and the results showed that all isolates were entirely resistant to Tetracycline (100%) but lesser to Ampicillin(70%), Cefotaxime(60%), Pipracillin, Polymyxine B and Norfloxacin (20%), Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin (30%), Amikacin and Gentamicin (40%).
