Hospital infections (IH) currently have aroused great interest in the scientific world and its control has been a challenge for healthcare professionals in both the public and private sector.

The objective of this research is to identify bacterial micro-organisms emerging and reemerging diseases, and opportunistic pathogens that colonize the health professionals working in the intensive care unit (ICU), as well as meet the antimicrobial sensitivity profile that they have. In order to meet the objective proposed a search through bacterial culture and antimicrobial sensitivity profile, culled from hands and nostrils of health professionals who work in intensive care in a hospital publico- semi-arid Brazil. Were able to identify in 205 positive samples (85%) of micro-organisms present in the hands and nostrils of these professionals. Namely: Staphylococcus SP., Staphylococcus aureus; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. It was evident the dangerous resistance presented by these bacteria that are colonizing the professionals mentioned above. Being the antibiotics amoxicillin, ampicillin, Azithromycin, Erythromycin and sufametoxazoltrimetropin those who sofreream greater resistance.
