Abstract :
Bloodstream infection is an infectious
disease characterized by the presence of live bacterial or
fungal microorganisms in the bloodstream, as evidenced
by positive blood cultures. These pathogens have an
important role in infection, especially in the intensive
care unit (ICU). Although infection is not the most
common cause of mortality in ICU care, infection is
confirmed to be associated with increased hospitalization
and high treatment costs.
Objective: This study aims to determine the profile of
blood culture, the factors that have a bearing on the
results, and the description of antibiotic resistance in
patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital.
Method: This study is a study using secondary data from
patients in ICU Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in
2019 - 2020 conducted by blood culture.
Results: This study included data from 52 patients who
were recorded between 2019 – 2020 and underwent
blood culture. There are 50% women and men each with
an average age of 54,69 years. Based on the acquisition of
a positive blood culture in terms of the day of admission,
found 33 people (61.4%) positive patients after passing
48 hours. The highest morphology was Gram negative
rods, 52.8% with the most species, Klebsiella pneumoniae
ESBL positive, and found Carbapenemase-producing
bacteria (5.5%). The most common Gram-positive
bacterium is Staphylococcus aureus (15%), and half is
suspected MRSA.
Conclusion: Most types of bacteria found in ICU patients
in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital are Gramnegative rod bacteria, with the time it was found above
48 hours after entering the hospital. The picture of
antibiotic resistance is in line with the bacteria found
with the property of drug resistance. Preventive
measures are needed to prevent patients from the
possibility of transmitting these microorganisms
