摘　　要：Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic human pathogens worldwide. High prevalence of Multi Drug Resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPa) in Iran is a serious problem for antimicrobial therapy. Several studies have reported the MDRPa in Europe and Asia. Due to the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, bacterial resistance is increasing in Iran, located in Middle East. The present cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the prevalence of class1 integron, resistance gene cassettes and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles among isolates of P. aeruginosa in Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan City, central part of Iran from Jan-Sep 2014. The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility, the prevalence of Class1 integron, resistance gene a measuring in Iran. A total of 231 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from clinical specimens including urine (50.6%), tracheal tube (25.5%), wound (13.4%), blood (6.1%), catheter (2.2%), cerebrospinal fluid (1.7%) and sputum (0.4%) isolates from hospitalized patients (mean age: 50.27 ± 24.12 years).The majority of patients (68%) were male. Isolates were collected from different parts of the hospital as follows: ICU, Internal Medicine, Emergency care, Pediatrics, Nephrology, Transplant Center, General surgery and Infectious. Revealed data show a high rate of MDR P. aeruginosa isolates in the studied area;also, the result signifies the spread of aadA6 among clinical isolates in hospitalized patients.Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic human pathogens worldwide.
