The respiratory system is a complex interconnected functionality which consists of a series of branching tubules and the lungs containing many alveoli. The alveoli are highly vascularized to provide a large surface area for gaseous exchange. The investigation was conducted in the Fauji Foundation Hospitals Department of Microbiology from November 2019 to June 2022.. The various bacterial strains that were recovered from a total of 802 mechanically intubated individuals make up the data presented in this study. Acinetobacter spp 270 (34%), Pseudomons spp 165(21%), and Klebsiella spp 95 (12%) were the most frequently isolated bacteria. Main Gram-positive organisms isolated included Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus 66 (8%), Enterococcus 48 (6%). MRSA was 100% sensitive to Vancomycin, but only 97% sensitive to the Linezolid. The Acinetobacter spp found in the tracheal tubes was reported to be 77% sensitive to Polymyxin B.
