Abstract: P.aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) is the most common pathogen isolated from patients who have been hospitalized longer than 1 week. The relative frequency of P. aeruginosa as a nosocomial pathogen has increased. P.aeruginosa can cause multi-systemic infections. Our study aims to assess number of nosocomial infection with P. aeruginosa, and its prevention and control measures.
Methods: A set of 100 microbiological samples collected from different patients in three different hospitals suspected with nosocomial infection. Mechanism of action to detect the prevalence of P. aeruginosa studied by using: Culturing, staining, microscopy, Biochemical reactions, enzymatic test, and fermentation test.
Results: The total positive cases of the infection occurred in 7 cases, the positive nosocomial infection rate was 19.62%. The results have been shown in the three hospitals where the hospital that has a protocol to deal with infection and prevention will be much lower than its peers and this is positive to reduce the incidence of bacteria causing many diseases.
Conclusions: Our study showed that following the protocol of infectious diseases in the three hospitals had a positive effect on the spread of P. aeruginosa as the infection rate is less than 20% in those hospitals, knowing that they are also in different places.
