Nicht-fermentierende gramnegative Stäbchen im Untersuchungsmaterial eines Routinelaboratoriums

Combination Effect of Piperacillin with Four Aminoglycosides on Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacteria

“…In a period of 3 months, 497 strains of gram-negative nonfermenters have been found among 7,864 isolates from human clinical specimens. Of them 85% were P. aeruginosa, the next most frequent species found were P. putida, A. calcoacelicus and A. Iwoffii [1]. The role of P. aerugi nosa and A. calcoaceticus as opportunistic pathogens is well established [7,8].…”

“…Nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria play an increasing role as infecting orga nisms of nosocomial infections [1,7]. In 1978 nonfermenters, especially Pseudomo nas aeruginosa, caused 8.6% of all hospit al-acquired infections in our 2,200 bed Uni versity Hospital (average nosocomial infec tion rate 4.6%).…”
