The present research work is aimed to determine the frequency of multi-resistant bacteria carriers (MDR) and their resistance profile in intensive care unit of the Jordan University Hospital in Amman during the period 12 months from February 2018 to January 2019. This research aimed to determine the frequency of carriers of multi-resistant bacteria (MDR) and their resistance profile in intensive care unit areas of a public hospital in Jordan. An observational cross-sectional study was carried out with patients and health personnel. Four anatomical regions were considered for sampling and media supplemented with antibiotics for the primary isolation of MDR. In this analysis the microbiologic profile and tolerance to the principal antimicrobials in clinical practise were analysed and graded by HAI, 619 (100%) blood cultures in the neonatal ICU. A high frequency of gram negative bacteria could be detected as causing HAI (~39%), but the coagulase negative Staphylococcus was the principal isolated agent (28%). Candida parapsilosis (16%) was dominant among the fungi. The presence of Acinetobacter baumannii, a multidrug-resistant organ isolated in about (3%) of blood cultures, is significant in (27%) of A. The study identified both baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus high sensitivity to oxacillin. Colistin resistance was higher in the first half of 2018, in isolation with Serratia marcescens. A knowledge of the microbiological profile and susceptibility of bloodstream infection in the neonatal ICUs at Jordan University Hospital was supported through microbe resistor and the prevalence of agents observed in the sample.
