Bacteriological Profile and Drug Resistance Pattern of Isolates of ICU Patients In Hospital Of Peshawar

Multidrug-resistant infectious diseases are one of the top causes death and morbidity among hospitalized patients worldwide. Objective: This study’s aim was to assess frequency common bacterial pathogens, as well their antibiotic sensitivity & resistance, in various Intensive care unit tertiary hospitals. Methods: The current investigation conducted from February May 2021 multiple ICU at a primary hospital Peshawar. Patients who were admitted any hospital's four intensive units (ICUs) medically speculated having an infection within 48 hours arrival included. Patients' laboratory samples selected based on clinical suspicion. Antibiotic testing performed samples. Result: E. coli 33(26) most commonly isolated bacteria across all “In NICU, CONS 17(67.78), 7(28.28), MICU, PICU coli, Pseudomonas spp Acinetobacter spp.11(22.39), SICU 17(46.82) predominantly isolated” “Amikacin 29(88.6), Cefuroxime 21(65), Klebsiella sp. Cefoperazone+Salbactum 15(79), Tazobactum+Piperacillin 12(66), Sulbactum+Cefoperazone 12(66) used antibiotics against 12(56)”. Citrobacter spp. (67.8) observed more followed by Proteus (34.4) Enterococcus (34.4). Conclusion: In ICUs, antimicrobial resistance key barriers patient outcome multidrug-resistant expenditure. All throughout world face issue lowering same.
