This study aims to determine the epidemiology of nosocomial infections caused by Multidrug- Resistant bacteria in a hospital in northern Minas Gerais. Methods: Notifi cation forms obtained from the Infection Control Service (SCIH) of a hospital of Northern Minas Gerais were analyzed, for the period April 2011 to April 2012. Were included in the study all cases of Hospital Infection (IH) caused by multidrug- resistant bacteria (MDR). Results: There were 44 cases of MDR caused by IH, 19 females and 25 males. The most frequent infection sites were: Urinary Tract Infection (40,9%) and Bloodstream Infection (25%). The highest frequency of cases occurred in the age group 60 to 69 years and in the period 0-15 days of hospitalization. The bacteria found were Klebsiella pneumoniae (27.7%), Escherichia coli (23.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (21.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (14.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6.4%), Enterobacter sp (2.1%), Morganella morganii (2.1%) and Burkholderia cepacia (2.1%). The resistance mechanism most frequent was ESBL production. IH by MDR has more invasive procedures that occur in bacteria IH not MDR, OR: 3.7 (95% CI: 2:02-4:03). Conclusion: The prevalence of MDR infection during the study period was 11.6%. It is important to detect and control the spread of MDR microorganisms because of their impact on morbidity and survival of patients. KEYWORDS: Hospital-Acquired Infection. Drug Resistance.
