Nonfermentative gram negative bacilli isolated, from the various clinical specimens were studied from the period Septetmber, 1983 to August, 1985 at the Korea University-Guro Hospital.
1) Among the total 5052 bacteria isolated Enterobacteriaceae, gram-positive cocci and nonfermentative gram negative bacilli were 2,811(55.6%), 1,290(25.5%), 913(18.1%) respectively.
2) Distribution of nonfermentative gram negative bacterial genus were Pseudomonas (8.1%), Acinetobacter(20.0%), Alcaligenes(17.7%), Achromobacter(2.2%), Flavobacterium(1.6%)etc in decreasing order of frequency. Distribution of nonfermentative gram negative bacterial species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(50.9%), Alcaligenes species(17.7%), Acietobacter calocaceticus var antitratus(15.2%) etc in decreasing order of frequency.
3) The most frequently isolated nonfermentative gram negative bailli in sputum, urine, pus, bile, throat, ear discharge and chest tube were Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, Alcaligenes species were most frequently isolated nonfermentative gram negative bacilli in blood and vaginal swabs.
4) Genrally, nonfermentative gram negative bacilli revealed resistant patterns against gram-negative antimicrobial agents.
