Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the culture results of patients hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at our hospital during 2014 and 2015. Material and Methods: In this study, the cultures results of the patients were analyzed. Identification of bacteria was performed by conventional methods or Vitek MS 2 and antibiotic susceptibility tests were done by Vitek 2 MS according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results: 297 materials sent from NICU consisted of 133 (38%) blood cultures, 55 (18.5%) tracheal aspirates, 48 (16.2%) conjunctivas, 31 (10.4%) urine cultures, 24 (8%) cerebrospinal fluids, 12 (4%) wound cultures, 9 (3%) catheter tip cultures and 5 (1.7%) sterile body fluids. Klebsiella pneumoniae (28.6%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (23.9%) were the most frequently isolated bacteria. Conclusion: Carbapenem resistance was low for Enterobacteriaceae species. Carbapenem resistance was high and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance was very low for Acinetobacter baumanii
