The frequency of infections at different anatomic sites and the risk of infection vary by the type of ICU. The samples like Intravenous line tip, pus, urine & blood from patients on ventilator, on central line and with urinary catheter from ICU of Medicine, Pediatric, Burn, Surgical, Respiratory and Trauma were taken for study and were transported immediately to the Microbiology Laboratory for culture of the sample on routine culture media and incubation at 37°C for overnight. This study was carried out on 650 samples. The 252 bacterial isolates from patients admitted in ICU were taken in account. The highest number of isolates were of Gram negative bacteria having cases of pseudomonas sp. are 98 (38.8%) cases followed by 50(19.84%) of Escherichia coli, 20(7.93%) Klebseilla sp & Proteus vulgaris were 16(6.34%) and Citrobacter sp. cases were 05(1.98%) and cases of Gram positive cocci includes 63(25%) cases of staphylococcus aureus. .Highest sensitivity of 89% is noticed with Imipenem and lowest sensitivity with gentamycin and norflox are 23% and 00 % respectively.
