BACKGROUND- Acinetobacter spp has emerged as an important cause of nosocomial infection among
immunocompromised patients and those with prolonged hospital stay, particularly in intensive care units
(ICUs). These infections are often difficult to treat due to the widespread resistance of the bacteria to major
groups of antibiotics. Therefore, antibiotic selection for empirical therapy is challenging and must be
reliedupon recent institutional-level susceptibility data.
AIMS- To determine the clinco-epidemiological profile of Acinetobacter spp isolated from different ICU
patients and to identify their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in a rural tertiary care hospital .
