Blood stream infections mainly by Bacteremia leading to septicemia were the major cause of life threatening sepsis in hospitalized patients. There should be required rapid diagnosis of pathogenic agents and immediate appropriate therapy. These help to decrease of multidrug resistance cases and also morbidity and mortality. During one year period, total 192 blood samples were processed in microbiology laboratory according to standard protocols. Out of 192 samples, 21 were isolated positive and antibiotic sensitivity patterns were performed according to standard CLSI guidelines. The total 10.94% (21/192) were identified as culture positive of these 66.67% were Gram negative and 28.57% Gram positive and 04.76% Candida species. The gram negative bacteria were predominant isolates. The Klebsiella pneumoniae was 100% sensitivity to Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Amikacin, Gentamycin and Aztreonam. All non-fermenter isolates were 100% sensitivity to Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Amikacin, Colistin and Polymyxin-B. Vancomycin sensitivity was seen 100% to all grams positive isolates. Bacteremia was most common causes of septicemia; the most predominant pathogenic agent was Klebsiella pneumoniae in our study. Surveillance of pathogenic agents and their antibiotics sensitivity pattern should be required to reduce drug resistance and for selection of appropriate therapy.
