Abstract :

<p> BACKGROUND:– Critically ill patients acquire infection during their stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and frequency of these infections varies considerably in different populations and clinical settings1 . AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:– 1) The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of common pathogens in ICU. 2) To know the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from tracheal secretions admitted in ICU at tertiary care centre .3) To determine the prevalence of extended spectrum B –lactamases (ESBLs) and Metallo –B–lactamases (MBL) was assessed . MATERIAL AND METHODS:– A total of 100 samples were studied over a one year period from March 2014 to March 2015. They were cultured and identified by standard biochemical tests . Antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) was performed according to CLSI guidelines. (CLSI 2014) Extended Spectrum B– Lactamase and Metallo–B–Lactamase was detected phenotypically . RESULTS:–Out of 100 samples studied the most common isolate was Acinetobacter baumanii ,followed by.Ecoli, Klebsiella.pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter.koseri, Staphylococcus aureus. CONCLUSION:–The findings of this study will help clinicians to formulate antibiotic policy for the treatment of the patients admitted in ICU. Producing a local antibiogram database will improve the knowledge of antimicrobial resistance patterns in so and will also help to improve treatment facilities</p>
