Microorganisms Isolated from Various Clinical Samples of Intensive Care Unit Patients and their Antibiotic Susceptibilities

Aim: In this study,we aimed to evaluate the agents and their antibiotic sensitivity which is isolated from intensive care unit. Material and Method: Microorganisms were identified by conventional methods, antibiotic susceptibilities were determined by using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and evaluated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommendations. Results: Gram-negative isolates accounted for 57.9 % of all isolates. The most ferquently isolated bacteria was coagulasae negative Staphylococcus (23.9%), followed by Esherichia coli (18.1%) and Pseudomonas spp. (15.9%) respectively. Methicillin resistance rate of S. aureus was 63 %.The most active antibiotics against the majority of gram-negative isolates were carbapenems and amikacin. Discussion:These data can be used to help improve selection of empiric antibiotics for the intensive care unit infections
