Identification of microorganisms done by different biochemical reactions and antibiotic sensitivity testing done by manual Kirby disk diffusion method as standard manual protocol.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>In the present our study, Acinetobater is more prevalent that is 28% followed by <em>Escherichia coli </em>(22%), <em>Pseudomonas </em>spp (18%), and <em>Klebsiella </em>spp (17%). <em>Acinetobacter </em>species was highest in Neonatal ICU (25%) and Medical ICU (40%), while <em>E. coli </em>was highest in Pediatric ICU (39%) and Surgical ICU (39%), <em>Pseudomonas </em>spp. (28%) was highest in Idaho Central Credit Union patients. Most effective drugs are Levofloxacin, Imipenem, Piperacillintazobactam, and Amikacin.</p> <p><strong>Discussion and Conclusion: </strong>Antimicrobial resistance is emerging problem worldwide especially in ICU. Hence, it is very important to know resistant pattern and to formulate antibiogram of antibiotics for better management care of patient in all clinical set up, which may help to patient escalation and de-escalation of antibiotics.</p>}, number={9}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={patel, rachana and Jain, Mannu and Luhar, Chinmay}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={109–112} }
