infections were E. coli 425 (54.9%), S. aureus 68 (24.9%), Klebsiella spp. 3 (23%), P. aeruginosa 110 (26.9%), and S. aureus 30 (20.4%) respectively. The overall prevalence of resistance to the antimicrobial agents tested in various clinical specimens is discussed in this study. Conclusion: The high resistance rate was observed in our study to most used antibiotics. Therefore, setting up a comprehensive surveillance system is need to evaluate the distribution of organisms isolated and their drug resistance pattern over different period of time and place of Iran.
