Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the most common intensive care unit (ICU) acquired nosocomial infection and it is considered as the second most common hospital acquired infection associated with higher mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the microbial profile of pathogens causing VAP and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns over a period of five years in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital. Cross-sectional, descriptive study was done on patients who were on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours and clinically suspected of having pneumonia for the five consecutive years 2012 to 2016. | Microbial profile and their susceptibility pattern in ventilator associated pneumonia in a tertiary care hospital
