Résumé:
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.
Their occurrence results in a high rate of morbidity and mortality of patients. Also contribute
significantly to increasing the length of hospitalization and consequent increase of costs of
treatment. Are multiple causes illnesses related to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, inherent to
the patient and to the environment in which it is inserted. 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.
