INTRODUCTION

Determine the characteristics of patients with ısolated Acinetobacter baumannii in respiratory samples in State Hospital intensive care unit between April 2009 - December 2012

METHODS

We retrospectively evaluated patients with ısolated Acinetobacter baumannii in respiratory samples in State Hospital intensive care unit between April 2009 - December 2012

RESULTS

During this period, Acinetobacter baumannii isolated in 38 patients of respiratory samples(female = 16, male n = 22). The average age of patients was 68,6 ± 18,1, mean duration of hospitalisation was 25,4 ± 18,3, mean isolation time of Acinetobacter baumannii was 13,4 ± 9,4 day 29 cases (76.3%) were established exitus. Evaluation of the underlying disease most common cause of hypertension, stroke, heart failure, diabetes and COPD established respectively. Prior antibiotic use, urinary catheter, mechanical ventilation, nasogastric tube, total parenteral nutrition, central venous catheter were observed. as the most common cause of a risk factor APACHE 2 score of the patients acceptance to the the intensive care unit was 23.3 ± 5.7. The susceptibility to antibiotics for colistin polymyxin, tobramycin, gentamicin, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, was determined.on culture antibiogram.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

As a result, intensive care unit mortality rate is high due to Acinetobacter baumannii
