A study was conducted in which a total of 4696samples, out of which 536 were nonfermenters, among these 200 Acinetobacter isolates were isolated. Speciation was done which showed Acb complex 156 (78%), A. lwoffii 25 (12.5%), A. hemolyticus 12 (06%), A. junii 06 (03%), A. radioresistens 01 (0.5%). Resistance pattern to various drugs were Meropenem 19 (9.5%), Piperacillin-tazobactum 19 (9.5%), Netilmicin 61 (30.5%), Amikacin 75 (37.5%), Ceftazidime 77 (38.5%), Gentamicin 95 (47.5%), Ofloxacin 147 (73.5%), Chloramphenicol 175 (87.5%).
