| Zusammenfassung: | We studied the characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the urine specimens of the patients with urinary tract infections (UTI), in the urological unit at Kitasato University Hospital, between April, 1989 and March, 1990. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in 8.0% of the total urine specimens (1.1% from outpatients, 6.9% from inpatients). Serotype of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was F (33%), G (17%), M (14%) and others (36%). In sensitivity tests, imipenem (IPM) had the lowest MIC among 8 antimicrobial agents tested, which were imipenem, piperacillin, cefsulodin, ceftazidime, aztreonam, gentamicin, amikacin, and ofloxacin with 5.0%, 82.0%, 74.0%, 69.0%, 92.0%, 67.0%, 79.0% and 82.0% resistant strains, respectively. Bladder cancer was the most common underlying disease in the urological patients with Pseudomonas infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is still an annoying problem in UTI among compromised patients suffering from advanced urinary tract malignancies |
