Received: 25 Sep, 2015 Accepted: 26 Nov, 2015 Abstract Background & Aims: Increasing antibiotic-resistance cause a lot of problems for patients. The aim of this study was to isolate the Acinetobacter baumannii species from the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and to determine antimicrobial resistance pattern of these bacteria. Materials & Methods: 50 isolates of A.baumannii from different clinical specimens from ICU wards of Gazi hospital were isolated. The species identification was performed by standard laboratory methods. Antibacterial susceptibility test for 15 antibiotics was performed using disk diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) method according to CLSI guideline. Results: In this study, the highest sensitive rate was shown by Tigecycline (92%), Tobramycin (48%), and netilmycin (46%). Conclusion: This study shows drug resistance has increased in the Intensive Care Units, and it suggests that antibiotic resistance can be decreased by choosing the appropriate drug to treat patients.
