Abstract :Objective: In this study; microbiological evaluation of clinical isolates of 490 patients treated in general adult intensive care unit between 2016-2018 was aimed. Methods: Blood culture samples were evaluated in an automated blood culture system BacT / Alert 3D insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(bioMerieux, France);. Vitek 2 Compact insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BioMe´rieux, Marcyl’Etoile, France); automated bacterial identification system was used for determination of biochemical parameters and antibiograms. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS); Version 23.0 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA); was used to analyze the data. Result: In this study; non-fermentative gram negative microorganisms were found to be 10.816% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 53);. Pseudomonas aeroginosa were detected in 49 patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10%);. Especially in 2018, the total number of microorganisms was found to be higher than the other years, while P. aeroginosa strain insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 41); increased significantly. The major pathogens were P. aeroginosa, Non-Fermentative Gr insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-); bacteria, Klepsiella spp., Escherichia coli, Candida spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp. was determined. Conclusion: In this study; microorganism distribution of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit was determined. Investigating the resistance status of microorganisms will be useful in regulating treatment protocols and preventing resistant pathogenic microorganisms.
