1. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
2. Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE)
3. Acinetobacter baumannii (natural resistant)
4. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
5. Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli (ESBL)
Route of entry: through mechanical ventilator, urine catheter and central line

Hi,
The most common ICU-acquired strains were
a. Acinetobacter baumannii
b. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
c. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
d. Staphylococcus aureus
e. Enterococcus spp. and
f. Klebsiella pneumoniae
Salamat All,
Each local hospital with ICU has commonly certain common multidrug resistance bacterial strains. Please see my last published paper.
Major biologic characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from hospital environmental and patients' respiratory tract sources
Nathir Obeidat, Fatin Jawdat, Amal G. Al-Bakri, Asem A. Shehabi
American Journal of Infection Control 01/2014; 42(4):401–404.
Presence of the drug resistant pathogen has to be correlated with the isolates from the hospital acquired infections in the ICU.
Hello.
It' depends a lot on the epidemiology of your hospital/dipartiment.
Here in north Italy we're having problems with K.pneumoniae KPC/MBL/ESLB and E.coli ESBL, then P.aeruginosa Carbapenemases producer and MRSA (less then others) also Acinetobacter are increasing.
You should investigate on the population of your region/state and of your hospital.
You should start with a "retrospective" study of the situation to establish your own epidemiology pattern.
Greetings.
The most common ICU-acquired strains in Kocaeli University in TURKEY were
a. Acinetobacter baumannii
b. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
c. Klebsiella pneumoniae
d. MRSA
Hi. It strongly depends on local epidemiology. Along last decades, Gram negative rods (Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa) have become the most frequent and deadly bacteria associated with UCI infections, but MRSA and multiresistant enterococci should be taken in account. Besides, don't forget Clostridium difficile as a relevant pathogen
