  • Pneumonia is a very serious infection and the causes of death in the world. Ironically, the main risk factor of death was a result of inadequate and imprecise antibiotic administration. This study was to determinate pattern and sensitivity of bacterial to antibiotics in pneumonia patients hospitalized in the X Hospital from January to September 2015. This type of research was non-experimental by collecting data from medical records of inpatients and test the sensitivity of bacterial to antibiotics hospital isolates. Then the data were analyzed using descriptive methods. This study showed that bacterial the cause pneumonia than 92 patients were Klebsiella pneumoniae (35.65%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (17.26%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.11%), Streptococcus mitis (13.76%), Escherichia coli (4.59%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (4.59%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (4.59%), Streptococcus sanguinis (1.15%), Streptococcus parasanguinis (1.15%), and Staphylococcus aureus (1, 15%). Test sensitivity of bacterial to antibiotics in the X Hospital period of January-September 2015 showed the bacterial Klebsiella pneumoniae (36 patients) were sensitive to ceftriaxone (47.22%), ciprofloxacin (16.67%), meropenem (36.11%) and the bacterial Acinetobacter baumannii (20 patients) were resistant to the antibiotic meropenem (30%), ceftriaxone (10%), ciprofloxacin (15%), amikacin (15%), levofloxacin (20%), gentamicin (10%). The use of antibiotics definitive pneumonia patients at X Hospital from January to September 2015 compared with the results of the culture as much as 57.45% appropriate and 42.55% inappropriate.
