Abstract
Among one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four Gram-negative bacilli, isolated at Universidade Federal do Ceará hospital complex - Brazil, from January 1995 to February 1996, 456 (24.8%) were Nonfermentative Gram-Negative Bacilli (NFGNB). This study reports their identification to the species level and their frequency as well. Thirteen genera and thirty species were identified and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequent species (69.95%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (5.48%) and by Acinetobacter lwoffii (3.95%). Among the identified P.aeruginosa strains, 94.1% produced pigment but 7.9% of them produced pigment only after being cultivated several times. The frequency of the most species was similar to that reported in the literature.
