ICU (26.3, 18.7, 14.3, 11.9 and 9.2% respectively). MRSA strains constituted over 65% of all S. aureus isolates and 30.3% of E. faecium were found to be vancomycin resistant. Extended spectrum β-lactmase producers were expressed in 53.2% and 50.6 from K. pneumoniae and E. coli. Carbapenem resistance among K. pneumoniae improved slightly from 2.89 to 4.21%. A. baumannii isolates exhibited extremely high levels of resistance to all antibiotics except colistin (100% sensitive). In addition, 80.4% of A. baumannii isolates were found to be resistant to imipenem. Imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa isolates showed 36.4%.
