Conclusion: Frequency of VAP is quite high in our setup, identification of causative bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern will not only help in providing effective treatment to the patients but will also help in the formulation of
antibiogram according to local resistance patterns for empirical therapy and to reduce the morbidity and mortality.
Susceptibilities were summarized into a hospital
antibiogram using Stata version 12 (https:// www.
Multi drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Pathogen burden and associated
antibiogram in a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan.
Antibiogram and susceptibility pattern of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus collected from various clinical samples in Bengaluru.
12 Antibiotics used for
antibiogram determination of the collected strains among FQ were: norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, and sparfloxacin and nalidixic acid.
Frequency and
antibiogram of multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Keeping this in mind this study has been undertaken to know the common organism involved and their
antibiogram in our set up.
When an organism such as Bacteroides can be rapidly identified, this provides physicians with information they can use--along with
antibiogram data and patient assessment--to make treatment decisions.

This demonstrated a rapid reduction in the VAP rate from 60 to 11 per 1000 ventilator days and improvement in the facility's
antibiogram, with improvements in ABC susceptibility to both amikacin and meropenem.
