The intensive care unit (ICU) is often called as the epicentre of infections, due to its vulnerable population. The present study aims to know the causative organisms and antibiotic susceptibility of infections in intensive care units. The Samples were processed as per standard guidelines. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and ESBL production of the organisms were tested by disc diffusion. Of the 429 samples tested, 112 of the samples were culture positive and most common isolate being Klebsiella sps (38%) followed by Acinetobacter sp (26%), Escherichia coli (21%) and staphylococcus aureus (5%). A local antibiogram pattern for each hospital, based on bacteriological profile and susceptibilities, is essential, to initiate empiric therapy and help in framing the appropriate institutional antibiotic policy.
