One hundred and eighteen isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from clinical material were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Regardless of species of animal from which the isolate was obtained, 75% of the isolates were inhibited by ≤ 4 μg of gentamicin/ml, 100% by ≤ 4 μg of tobramycin/ml, 97% by ≤ 128 μg of carbenicillin/ml, and 2% by ≤ 64 μg of chloramphenicol/ml.
