| Core Tip |
To investigate the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of gram-negative healthcare associated bac-terial infections a study was conducted in tertiary hospitals in Sanandaj (a large city in the west of Iran). World Health Organization guidelines for hospital-acquired infections were followed. The results were interesting and provided important information con-cerning antibiotic resistance, making some antibiotics such as cephalothin almost useless. According to our study, gram-negative health care associated infections are challenging especially in pediatric wards. The most effective antibiotics against gram-negative healthcare associated infections were imipenem followed by ciprofloxacin. The high mortality rate (46.1%) asso-ciated with Serratia marcescens was alarming.
