Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe sistemic infections and antibiotic resistance in
P.aeruginosa is a serious problem. The antibiotic susceptibilities and the various phenotypes of beta-lactam resistance in 161
P.aeruginosa strains isolated from various clinical specimens over a period of a year in the Department of Microbiology and
Clinical Microbiology of Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine Hospital were investigated. The fosfomycin susceptibilities of the
isolates were also detected. The disc diffusion test was used as a simple method to determine the beta-lactam resistance
phenotypes of P.aeruginosa. The lowest resistance rates were found to imipenem and amikacin (34%).
The fosfomycin susceptibility rate was 60%. Beta-lactam resistance phenotypes of the isolates are low-level penicillinase
(1, 9%), high-level penicillinase (3, 7%), nonenzymatic (8, 7%), cephalosporinase (14, 3%), selective impermeability to
imipenem (2, 5%), extended spectrum beta-lactamase (1, 2%) and complex phenotype (29, 2%).
