Results: The study revealed the presence of Klebsiella species in 28.29% (n=26) samples followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 20.69% (n=18), Klebsiella Pneumonia 13.79% (n=12), Acinetobacter baumannii 10.34% (n=9), Non-fermenting gram negative rods 9.19% (n=8), respectively. A high range of resistance was seen for Ceftazidime in case of Klebsiella spp (91.66%).Overall Colistin was the most sensitive drug among all group of microorganisms.

Conclusion: The present study is an initiative to observe serious threats in patients admitted in ICU due to nosocomial infection. Most com monest microorganisms observed were Klebsiella species 28.29% (n=26), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 20.69% (n=18), Klebsiella pneumonia 13.79% (n=12), Acinetobacter baumanni 10.34% (n=9).Maximum resistance was observed to Ceftazidime, 3^rd generation cephalosporin 92.7% (51 out of 55). Highest sensitivity was seen for Colistin (80%) followed by Ciprofloxacin (76.8%). Such studies will restrict emergence of resistant bacteria, effective cost benefit, inventory and stock management.
