Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a persistent problem in healthcare settings. Although much emphasis is placed on preventing these infections, they remain a major problem in both developed and developing countries. These infections are caused by many factors, including invasive devices such as central venous catheters (CVCs), indwelling urinary catheters (IVCs), peripheral catheters, and endotracheal tubes. Highly complex care settings, such as the intensive care unit (ICU), are the most common setting for the development of hospital-acquired infections. OBJECTIVES: To identify the main multidrug-resistant bacteria reported in the literature in intensive care unit healthcare. METHODOLOGY: Integrative review, by searching for keywords fixed in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) database, followed by the search for articles in the VHL, present in the following databases: SciELO, LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE, and Pubmed Portal. Which contain in their context the following keywords: bacteria; antibacterials; Intensive Care Units; hospital infection. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: The main genera of microorganisms analyzed, among the studies collected, are Staphylococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter. Among these three microorganisms, the appearance of these microorganisms can be seen in the largest number of articles, of all the selected studies, associated with HAIs, in the intensive care unit. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded, therefore, that the main bacteria present in the ICU are of the genera: Acinetobacter cited in at least five articles, Staphylococcus cited in at least five articles, and Klebsiella cited in at least four articles, of the six selected studies. The multifactorial causes are conditioned by poor hand hygiene, inadequate disinfection of supplies present in this environment, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, and the handling of invasive devices.
