Objective  Nosocomial infections (NIs) are known as one of the remarkable problems in all countries. This study is aimed to estimate the prevalence rate of nosocomial bacterial agents with antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in hospitalized patients. This study was conducted from April 2017 to September 2018, on 4029 hospitalized patients. We set out to recognize the commonest bacterial infections and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of nosocomial infection.    Results  Of the 4029 patients, 509 (12.6%) of them were culture positive. Of these  Escherichia coli  ( E. coli ) (98.3%) and  Staphylococcus epidermidis  ( S. epidermidis ) (37.5%) were the most abundant bacterial identified in the urinary tract and bloodstream cultures respectively, Moreover,  Acinetobacter spp.  (100%) and  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  (22.2%) were the most abundant organisms detected in the respiratory system. According to susceptibility testing results, 370 (80.5%) and 264 (57.3%) in Gram-negatives and 44 (91.7%) and 35 (72.9%) in gram positives isolated strains were classified as multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensive drug-resistant (XDR) strain respectively. On account of the high prevalence of MDR and XDR bacterial species, there is a pressing need for the expansion of new strategies on antibiotic supervision and infection control to introduce new guideline on empirical antibiotic therapy.
