Overview

Cross-sectional study analyzes infective organisms in endotracheal secretions, highlighting resistance patterns in ICU patients.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze the culture profile and resistance patterns of organisms from endotracheal secretions in ventilated patients.
  • Cross-sectional study design conducted over six months
  • Sample size of 113 endotracheal secretions from patients
  • Culture and susceptibility testing of the samples
  • 73 out of 113 samples were culture-positive (64.40%)
  • Most common pathogen identified was Acinetobacter spp. (36.98%)
  • Other pathogens included Klebsiella spp. (28.50%), Pseudomonas spp. (17.80%), E. coli (9.59%), and Staphylococcus aureus (8.22%)
