| Popis: | Background: There has been a surge of sufferers contracting healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) in recent times. This has been further exacerbated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic which, beginning in 2020, has severely affected the majority of the world's nations, and one of the biggest problems caused by this infection was the high number of patients who required critical care. Aim: We sought to identify the microbiological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from tracheal aspirate and endotracheal tube (ETT) tips of patients who had to undergo ICU admittance. Methodology: We isolated a total of 150 microbial samples from 131 patients, of which 97 came from endo tracheal aspirates and the remaining 53 samples were obtained from ETT tips, following which the isolation and identification of bacteria was then done according to requisite microbiological assays. The Kirby-Bauer Technique with Mueller-Hinton agar was used to conduct the antimicrobial susceptibility testing in accordance with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2016 standards. Results: 53 (35%) of the 150 total specimens were from ETT tips, whereas 97 (65%) came from tracheal aspirates. 101 (67%) of the organisms were gram-negative, and 49 (33%) were gram-positive. |
