material (antibiotics) in controlling the growth of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa (P.) was isolated
from different clinical specimens were obtained from Biology Department/ University of Baghdad; seven isolates of P.
aeruginosa were selected and subjected to antibiotic sensitivity test for some antibiotic like: (cefatazidine(CAZ),
chloramphenicol(C), nalidixic acid(NA), gentamycin(CN), amoxicillin(AMC), tetracycline(TE), tobramycin(TOB),
ciprofloxacin(CIP), streptomycin(S), calarithromycin(CLR) and cefotaxime(CTX). Among various antibiotics tested most
isolates showed highest resistance to TE, NA, S, CLR and CTX. So we used the crud bioemulsifier extracted from Serratia
liquefaciens by using organic solvent diethyl ether (v:v) to support the mode of action of these antibiotics, the bioemulsifier was
characterized by HPLC analysis to confirm the component of it which found it consist of fatty acids and carbohydrates, the
combination of some antibiotics and bioemulsifier showed obviously increase of inhibition zones in some isolates in compare
with the inhibition of antibiotics without it for ex: the inhibition of (C) for isolate P.3 was increase from 28mm to 36mm when
used bioemulsifier in concentration(100mg/ml), also the P.7 exhibit resistance for TE without bioemulsifier and when used the
bioemulsifier with TE the results were: 20mm and 12mm for the concentration(50&100mg/ml) respectively, so the conclusion
is: P. aeruginosa isolates showed resistance for many antibiotics and when the bioemulsifier support the action of antibiotics
that combination show an effect on some isolates growth.</Abstract><Email>entissar_mulla@yahoo.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>12</issue><year>2013</year><keyword>Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Antibiotics,Bioemulsifier,HPLC</keyword><AUTHORS>Entissar Faroun Ahmed,Dalia Azhar Ahmed</AUTHORS><afflication>Department of Biology, College of Science, University of Baghdad, Al jadiria, Baghdad, Iraq.,Department of Biology, College of Science, University of Baghdad, Al jadiria, Baghdad, Iraq.</afflication></Article></Articles>
