Found in warm moist area such as sinks, drains, respirators, humidifier and disinfectant. <i>P.aeruginosa</i> found in normal microbial flora in humans i.e., in skin, nasal mucosa, throat and fecal samples.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">OBJECTIVES :</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"> Isolate and identify the <i>P.aeruginosa</i> from various clinical samples and study the prevalence of <i>P.aeruginosa</i> among various&nbsp; samples.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">METHODS :</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"> Nutrient agar, 5% Blood agar used for both culture characteristic and pigment production, Gram staining, Hanging drop test for motility, etc. were used to isolate and identification of the <i>P.aeruginosa</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">RESULT :</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"> Total of 70% males patients have been dectected infection caused by <i>P.aeruginosa</i>. Between 11-20 age group patients have high degree of prevalence of infection followed by elder age group. Ear swab (26%) and Pus (30%) from which the most positive samples has been isolated. <i>P. aeruginosa</i> was common in male patients. Maximun number of isolated obtained from the patients between 11-20 years and Pus samples have prevalence than that of ear swab.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">CONCLUSION:</span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"> The study is helpful for the diagnosis and treatment against the <i>P.aeruginosa.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
