Abstract Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the third most common pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections and the prevalence of multiple resistant isolates has been increasing. Ninety- nine clinical isolates were studied in order to assess the current levels of susceptibility and cross- resistances of widely used antipseudomonal antibiotics against P. aeruginosa and to determine some resist
