The aim of the study was to determine the bacteriological profiles and their drug resistance pattern among different infections in ICU patients of a tertiary care hospital. The record-based retrospective data of culture reports of the patients admitted to all the ICUs of a tertiary care hospital during the period from January 2020 to May 2022 were analyzed. A total of 3,056 samples were obtained from 2308 patients. The infection rate among ICU patients was found to be 53.40%. Isolates belonged equally to males (50.86%) and females (49.14%). The most common culture-positive clinical specimen received was blood (39.08%) followed by respiratory samples (29.45%). Acinetobacter sp. (33.02%) was the most common organism isolated from various clinical specimens, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.89%), and Escherichia coli (13.8%). More than 80% of Acinetobacter species were found to be resistant to third-generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and carbapenems, whereas minocycline (56.31% S) and colistin (100% S) were the most effective drugs. Klebsiella sp. was found to be more resistant than E.coli, and the least resistance was observed to be tetracycline (43.97%) and doxycycline (55.84%). Among Staphylococcus aureus, 82.78% of strains were methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) sp. accounted for 16.67% of the isolates. Evidence-based knowledge regarding the local bacterial organisms and their antimicrobial resistance pattern is pivotal in deciding empirical drug therapy, ultimately leading to the management of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/7403044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]],"date-time":"2024-01-06T19:20:05Z","timestamp":1704568805000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Insight into the Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance among Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Patients Admitted in ICUs of a Tertiary Care Hospital in India"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Garima","family":"Gautam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2850-6380","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shweta","family":"Satija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6924-1556","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ravinder","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8735-5562","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Divakar","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megh Singh","family":"Dhakad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Maulana Azad Medical College and Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110002, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"222","article-title":"Bacterilogical profile and drug resistance pattern of isolates of the patients admitted in medical intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad","volume":"4","author":"T.
