Biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were conducted on 40 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which originated from diseased chicken. An extensive study of the biochemical properties revealed that the tested strains can be identified with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibiogram showed that all the strains were susceptible to gentamicin, colistin and amikacin but resistant to nitrofurantion, trimethoprim plus sulfamerthoxasole, ampicillin, methicillin and kanamycin and had varying degrees of resistance to other antimicrobials including carbenicillin, sulfomamides, neomycin, streptomycin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol. Three of the most frequent resistance patterns observed were FM (Nitrofurantoin) SXT (Sulfamethoxasole) AM (Ampicillin) ME (Methicillin) KM (Kanamycin) CM (Chloramphenicol) TC (Tetracycline) SM (Streptomycine) NE (Neomycine) SSS Pattern, FM SXT AM ME KM CM TC SM NE SSS CB (Carbenicillin) Pattern and FM SXT AM ME KM CM TC SM Pattern, and these resistance patterns contained 72.5% of the tested strains
