  Antibiotic resistance among Multi drug resistant (MDR) Gram negative bacteria causing hospital acquired infections poses a great threat in ICU patients. The treatment of such infections has become increasingly problematic, due to their intrinsic and/or acquired resistance to variable classes of antibiotics. Moreover, the demonstrated ability of these bacteria to grow as biofilm is believed to have a major role in their ability to resist various antibiotics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of the selected genes in biofilm formation in 3 significant MDR bacterial isolates (Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia). In this study a total of 625 non replicated Gram negative non-fermenter bacterial isolates were isolated from different clinical specimens from intensive care units from hospitals in Egypt. These bacterial isolates wer.. View More»
