Clinical specimens were collected from 120 patients, 44 of them are males and 76 females with age range 1-70 years. A total of 49(40.8%) isolates were diagnosed as P. aeruginosa based on a number of tests and confirming by using 16SrDNA gene specific for P. aeruginosa. Results showed that the highest antibiotic resistance was in 40(81.6%) isolates resistant to Amikacin (AK), while 26(53.1%) isolates were sensitive to Colistin (CT). All isolates were resistant to more than three antibiotics, therefore classified P. aeruginosa as MDR .Also, some selective isolate showed the ability to form biofilm by using Cong Red method.
