We observed 61% of culture positivity for different organisms in our study. Staphylococcus aureus and P. aeruginosa were the most frequently isolated organisms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were largely sensitive to aminoglycosides, carbapenems and polymixin. We found an unusually higher incidence of enterococcal infection in our study cohort with few vancomycin-resistant isolates.
