ABSTRACT
This study aimed to analyze the main risk factors and prevalence of microorganisms from patients admitted in adult andneonatal ICUs. This was a retrospective study using data of microbial cultures and their respective patients admitted inadult and neonatal ICUs of a university hospital from the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In the adult ICU,58.8% of patients presented heart problems, and 60 positive cultures were found with the prevalence of coagulasenegative Staphylococcus (CNS) (30.0%) and Staphylococcus aureus (13.3%). In the neonatal ICU, patients predominantlypresented pulmonary diseases (52.6%), and 31 positive cultures were found with the prevalence of CNS (35.5%) andEnterococcus spp. (16.1%). Thus, we conclude that both units surveyed had patients with different risk factors but withinfections caused by Gram positive cocci, mainly CNS

Este estudo objetivou analisar os principais fatores de risco e a prevalência de microrganismos em infecções bacterianas de pacientes internados em UTIs Adulto e Neonatal. Estudo retrospectivo onde foram incluídos dados de culturas dos microrganismos e dos respectivos pacientes internados nas UTIs Adulto e Neonatal de um hospital escola do Vale do Rio Pardo, localizado na região central do RS. Na UTI Adulto 58,8% dos pacientes apresentaram problemas cardíacos,foram encontradas 60 culturas positivas com a prevalência de Staphylococcus coagulase negativa (SCN) (30%) eStaphylococcus aureus (13,3%). Na UTI Neonatal os pacientes apresentaram predomínio de doenças pulmonares(52,6%), foram 31 culturas positivas neste período com maior prevalência de SCN (35,5%) e Enterococcus spp. (16,1%).Desta forma, conclui-se que as duas unidades analisadas possuem pacientes diferentes com fatores de risco distintos,mas com o predomínio de infecções por cocos Gram positivos, principalmente SCN
