Abstract:
Intensive care unit (ICU) infection management is a growing challenge, and physicians should have regularly updated antibiograms. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of pathogens and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility in different ICUs of an Egyptian tertiary care hospital. This retrospective record-based cross-sectional study was conducted from the first of January to the last of December 2019 with a total of 45,221 diagnostic first-isolate culture/patient obtained from different ICUs in Zagazig University Hospitals. The antibiogram construction was done according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute instructions and a Web-based antibiogram at Stanford University.
