Background Microorganisms proliferating in the hospital setting cause infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. In intensive care units (ICUs), the rates of antibiotic resistance and microorganisms grown in cultures may vary by time period. Antibiotic sensitivity must be known for a correct empirical treatment approach. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of pathogenic microorganisms isolated from tracheal aspirate samples in the ICU. Methodology This study enrolled 100 tracheostomized patients aged one month to 18 years, regardless of gender, who were followed in the ICU of Dicle University for more than 72 hours. Medical data were retrospectively evaluated from the medical records. Care was taken to collect samples before changing antibiotics. Antibiotherapy was continued until after culture antibiogram results were obtained, or empirical antibiotic therapy was started by giving consideration to the potential source in patients with a suspected infection. Results An analysis of the tracheal aspirate culture samples of the patients showed that |
