    Bacterial resistance is a critical issue in public health, and over the years it has become an increasing problem among patients. The present research is a descriptive cross-sectional study, whose main objective was to determine bacterial resistance in microbiological analyses of adult patients hospitalized in the Medicine ward of Santa Rosa Hospital, in order to provide further information on the evolution of resistance to antibiotics. The information was obtained from microbiological reports of hospitalized patients, with a total of 101 positive results. The most frequently identified microorganism was Escherichia coli (47.5%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.9%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.9%). Regarding resistance, Escherichia coli showed 70.8% resistance to ciprofloxacin, Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited higher resistance to ciprofloxacin (72.7%) and cefepime (66.7%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae to ciprofloxacin (70%) and cephalothin (66.7%). In terms of sample distribution, 65.3% corresponded to urine cultures, 22.8% to special cultures, and 11.9% to blood cultures. A total of 70% of reports were from female patients and 30% from male patients, with a mean age of 61.7 years, the highest proportion being among patients aged 60 and older. The information obtained on bacterial resistance aims to provide updated data for clinical decision-making.
