BACKGROUND: The rate of hospital infections are 5 – 10 times higher in he intensive care unit compared to inpatient clinics.MATERIALS & METHOD: The bacterial cultural analysis have been conducted to all patients and 70 subjects that were positive for acinetobacter baumanniicolonisation have been included in the analysis. The data on age, gender, smoking, comorbidities, steroid usage and antibiotic treatment within the first 24 hours has been recorded in the analysis. Septic shock patients who did not respond to intense fluid replacement and needed dopamine infusion for the treatment of hypotension were also interpreted. The results of antibiogram culture, duration of non-invasive and invazive mechanical ventilation, hospital stay and mortality information have all been investigated for the analyis. The APACHE and SOFA scores of the first admission day have been calculated. RESULTS: Invasive mechanical ventilation has been conducted to 66 patients and the median duration of administration was 19.5±23.94 (1-138, range: 138) days. The APACHE II score was 24.69±8.37 and SOFA score was 10.43±3.42. The mean hospital stay was 26.03±24.23 (1-139, range 138) days. The mean time of observing positive culture from hospital admission was 15.55±1.19 days. The distribution of 84 samples were as follows: n=40 (47.6) from blood, n=26 (31%) deep tracheal aspiration material, n=7 (8.3%) from urine, n=7 (8.3%) from wound, n=4 (4.8%) from catheter. CONCLUSION: The antimicrobial regimen must be reassigned according to bacterial culture results. Increased carbapenem resistance is currently trending and this causes longer duration of hospital stay and increased mortality.
