• ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY OF ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIA, ACINETOBACTER, PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA AND ENTEROBACTER (ESKAPE) ORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM THE ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE ISOLATES FROM A PEDIATRIC ICU OF A TERTIARY CARE

Abstract


Background: In the recent past, antibiotic resistance observed from the isolates of the intensive care units is one the biggest problems faced by the clinicians. E.coli, Staph.aureus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Enterococci (ESKAPE organisms) are the most commonly implicated organisms when multi drug resistant pathogens are discussed. This is an effort to estimate of the problem in our hospital pediatric ICU.


Keywords
