Objective: To identify the profile of Bloodstream Infections (BSI) in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a Reference Hospital for COVID-19, in the metropolitan region of Recife - Pernambuco, from January to December in 2021. Method: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, carried out using a database from a microbiological laboratory. Results: 24 isolated types of microorganisms were identified, where the highest prevalence was the species Staphylococcus haemolyticus, followed by the species Staphylococcus epidermidis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus hominis. Levofloxacin and linezolid were the most resistant and sensitive antimicrobials, respectively, among the strains. Conclusion: The results on the microbiological profile of bloodstream infections in COVID-19-ICUs are of great importance for designing strategies that improve care, preventing complications and injuries to infected patients.
