Study of B- Lactamases production from Burkholderia cepacia

Abstract

The results revealed that only 5 isolates {2.5%}were diagnosed as Burkholderia cepacia from 200 clinical samples were collected (urine,sputum,wound and Burns) from patients in some Baghdad hospitals . Antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out for Burkholderia cepacia , The results showed that 5 isolates were highly resistant to antibiotics ,all isolates were resistant to amoxicillin and cftriaxome,while all isolates were sensitive to imipenem. The result for screening Beta-lactamase showed that 2 isolates were able to produce Beta- lactamase but no one of isolates were able to produce Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases ( ESBLs) .
