Abstract

Background Recent years, multi drug resistant pathogens and their pathogenicity were increased worldwide due to unauthorized consumption of antibiotics. In addition, correlation between multi drug resistant bacteria and biofilm formation is heightened due to the production of more virulence behavior. There is no better identification methods are available for detection of biofilm producing gram negative bacteria. Materials and methods In this research work, multi drug resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) were identified based on the specific antibiotics and third generation cephalosporin discs by disc diffusion assay. Subsequently, biofilm forming ability of selected pathogens were identified tissue culture plate and tube test. Based on the multi-drug resistant ability and biofilm production, the molecular identification of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae were confirmed by PCR using universal primers. Results and conclusions No zone of inhibition present around the discs of muller hinton agar plates were confirm, selected P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae strains were multi drug resistant pathogens. Performed third generation cephalosporin antibiotics were also highly sensitive to selected pathogens of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae. Further, biofilm forming ability of selected P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae was confirmed by tissue culture plate and tube methods. Finally, molecular identification of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae was named as P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae. Our result was conclude, selected P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae as biofilm producing pathogens and also highly resistant to current antibiotics.
