Abstract

Introduction: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is one of the main gram-negative germs that cause nosocomial infections, very frequent in intensive care units, with an increase in antimicrobial resistance in recent years. The World Health Organization (WHO) expressed the existence of a problem that threatens modern medicine: bacterial resistance together with infections associated with healthcare. Objectives: to carry out a bibliographic review on the incidence of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in intensive care units and its presence as a causal agent of coinfection in patients with COVID-19. Methods: a search of articles was carried out in internet search engines in Spanish and English such as: Pubmed, Medline, Academic Google, Dialnet; of articles published in the last ten years in Spanish or English, the term Pseudomonas Aeruginosa was used as the only descriptor in intensive care units, COVID-19. Conclusions: in almost all patients with nosocomial infections, mainly those with pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation, the common denominator is the isolation of Pseudomona Aeruginosa in at least one of the cultures performed. This situation is maintained as a problem to be solved that shows greater complexity in the context of the current pandemic. Is necessary to establish new cross infection control measures and analyze other therapeutic alternatives if one takes into account that resistance has been increasing in recent years.
