Commonness and Antibiotic Profile of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their effect on some Hematological Parameters in Intensive Care Units: A Study Based on South Qunfudah Hospital, Saudi Arabia

Objectives: the research aimed to examine the existing information on infected individuals in the ICU, offering significant findings on their status and medical care. Methods: Data was collected from a sample of 137 patients in the healthcare setting. Patient hospital stay durations, prevalence, and usage of medical procedures were recorded and categorized. Specimen types obtained from ICU patients were identified and their frequencies were determined. The distribution of A. baummani and P. aeruginosa by gender and age was examined· Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was evaluated against various antibiotics. Results: The majority of patients had a hospital stay duration of 1-5 days, followed by 6-10 and 16-30 days. Central line catheters were utilized by 33.6% of patients, urine catheters by 83.9%, and mechanical ventilation by 65.7%. Sputum, urine, and blood were the most common specimen types collected from ICU patients. A. baummani was found in 63.64% of cases, whilst P. aeruginosa was there in 36.36% of cases. The distribution of A. baummani and P. aeruginosa varied by gender and age. Antimicrobial susceptibility analysis revealed high resistance rates for certain antibiotics. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate the distribution of patient hospital stay durations, prevalence, and usage of medical procedures, specimen types, and organism distribution in a healthcare setting. The study highlights the need for effective antimicrobial stewardship and tailored treatment strategies based on antimicrobial susceptibility results. Recommendations: Infection control measures should be implemented to reduce the occurrence of A.  baummani, P. aeruginosa. Conduct further studies to expand understanding of distribution, prevalence, hematological parameters, and antibiotic confrontation profiles of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
