Abstract: Background: The increased risk of bacterial infections in the cancer patient is further compounded by the rising trends of antibiotic resistance in commonly implicated organisms. In Bangladesh the frequency of infections caused by E. coli, Klebsiella spp. and Proteus Spp. are high. Now a day the increasing resistance among several organisms is also a matter of concern. We have very few data regarding this issue. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to document the bacterial causes of infections and describe their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern in cancer patients. Methods and Materials: This was a descriptive observational study, conducted in Department of Medical Oncology, National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from January 2018 to December 2019. In total 19 cancer patients with bacterial infection were selected as study population. All cases were diagnosed from blood, urine, skin/soft tissue and respiratory samples i.e. cough swabs of patients. Samples were processed as per standard microbiology laboratory ........................
