Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the life-threatening world problems which should be noticed and controlled seriously. One of the major causes of the increasing AMR is the inappropriate use of antimicrobial where antimicrobial choices should be based on local data pattern to select the proper antibiotic. Sepsis causes high mortality and needs appropriate antibiotic while antimicrobial treatment should be started as soon as sepsis is suspected to prevent the development of further complications and progression. The aim of the study is to find the AMR prevalence, the causal bacteria in sepsis adult can be used as antibiotic guidelines for sepsis. AMR in sepsis patients is very high in Indonesia. It needs local data as guidelines for empirical treatment that can reduce the inappropriate use of antibiotic in an effort to control the AMR from spreading and increasing
