ABSTRACT
Bacteraemia due to nonfermentative gram negative bacilli appears to be increasing in frequency particularly in hospitalized patients with severe underlying illness. A total of 159 (79.50%) organisms were isolated from blood cultures of 200 seriously ill patients. Out of these, 73 (45.91%) were nonfermentative gram negative bacilli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the commonest isolate (32.88%) followed by Acinetobacter spp. (23.28%) and Burkholderia cepacia (10.96%). Analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed multidrug resistant pattern with majority of the isolates being resistant to three or more drugs.
