title: [Comparative analysis of occurrence and susceptibility to gram-negative bacilli isolated from intubation tubes and tracheostomy tubes in patients at intensive care units].
abstract: The purpose of this work was to determine the frequency of occurrence and susceptibility of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from intubation tubes and tracheotomy tubes in neonates and adults in intensive care units. Nonfermenting rods were the most often isolated from the tubes especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 39.2% to 45.2% of Gram-negative bacilli and Acinetobacter spp. from about 10.9% of Gram-negative bacilli. The rods of Enterobacteriaceae family were isolated too. It was found that the most frequently isolated bacteria was Escherichia coli--from 17.8% to 21.4% of Gram-negative bacilli. The other rods were isolated occasionally.
