Objective: to identify bacterial infections associated with COVID-19 in intensive care unit patients. Method: Descriptive documentary. Results and Conclusion: The associated bacterial infections were caused by several microorganisms are Pseudomonas spp , Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp the less predominant have been Acinetobacter spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus thoraltensis and Candida Albicans to detect these microorganisms has been performed studies in patients admitted after 24 hours the tests performed were in urine cultures, In order to detect these microorganisms, studies have been carried out in patients admitted after 24 hours, tests were performed on urine cultures, blood cultures and secretion cultures, which showed that they are highly negative microorganisms that mostly present multidrug resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics, which is why the antibiotic of choice in most cases has been beta-lactam inhibitors, aminoglycosides, polymyxin and in order to fight the infection.
