Abstract

Introduction

Compared with an average patient, an ICU patient has five to seven folds higher risk of nosocomial infection and ICU infections contributes to 20% to 25% of all nosocomial infections in a hospital.

The patterns of microorganisms causing various infections and their antibiotic resistance pattern vary widely from one country to another; as well as from one hospital to another and even among ICUs within one hospital.

Having proper knowledge regarding the antibiotic resistance pattern in hospital settings will help in implementing proper antibiotic policy for the hospital and hence benefit the community in this region.
