Abstract

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance in healthcare-associated gram-negative microorganisms is rising. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance is crucial for determining infection control programs and planning empirical treatment of patients. In this study, it was aimed to determine the distribution of the causative gram-negative bacteria and monitor the antibiotic susceptibility changes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanni, Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli.
