Sınety seven point five percent of 2"5 Gram negative aerobes. 98.1% of 163 Gram positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus). were found to be sensitive to İPM ('S. inety two point eight percent of 14 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were sensitive to this antibiotic. This study also diselosed that this agent 't as much more aetive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa thaıı any other tested aminoglicosides, as amikacin. netilmicin and tobramycin or cephalosporines, as cephalothme. cefuroxime. ceftnaxone and ceftazidime. /.Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Çenter 2(1): 1 ~- 21.1995/
