A Survey of Genotype and Resistance Patterns of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Organisms in ICU Patients

摘要

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) occurs in hospitalized patients who have undergone intubation and mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. Patients referred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are also affected by VAP due to specific conditions, especially by Gram-negative pathogens with advanced drug resistance. In this study, the pattern of antibiotic resistance of gram negative bacteria isolated from tracheal culture of VAP patients was investigated in ICU.
