Abstract
The aim of this study is to review bacterial isolates from respiratory samples of patients with severe COVID-19 disease during the first 2 months of the first wave in our hospital. A single-center retrospective observational study in critically ill adult patients was performed. A total of 1251 respiratory samples from 1195 patients were processed. Samples from 66 patients (5.52%) were determined to be microbiologically significant by a semi-quantitative culture. All patients received broad spectrum antibiotherapy as an empirical treatment. The isolated bacteria were mainly Enterobacterales followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial co-infections in ICU stay could seem not dependent on the virus that has produced the viral pneumonia similarly as with other respiratory viruses such as Influenza virus.
