ABSTRACT Introduction: The health care associated infections (HCAI) are one of the major problems which affect the patients in the hospital units, both in developed countries and in countries with low resources. Objective: To identify what kind of HCAI were reported, causal microorganism and antimicrobial susceptibility in the Internal Medicine Service at the "Manuel Fajardo" clinical-surgical hospital. Material and method: Descriptive, retrospective and transversal study of 105 patients with HCAI, who were admitted in the  Internal Medicine Service at the "Manuel Fajardo" clinical-surgical hospital, from January 2013 to December 2015. It was analyzed different variables. It was used descriptive statistics and it was related the national and international information with the obtained results. Results: It were predominated the patients with age over 60 years. The more common diagnosis was broncho-pneumonia in 58 patients (55.2%). The principal causal microorganism for broncho-pneumonia, the tracheo-bronchitis and the pressure ulcers was Pseudomona spp.; while for urinary tract infection and flebitis-cellulitis and abscess were E. coli and S. aureus respectively. Pseudomona spp. and E. coli showed high resistance to cephalosporins of the first, second and third generation tested and other kinds of antibiotics; however, for the amynoglucosides and for Cefepime the sensibility was favourable. The susceptibility of S. aureus showed very adverse results, because only for Amikacin and Vancomicin had acceptable sensibility. Conclusions: The HCAI predominated in an aged population and were caused by a diversity of microorganisms, principally Pseudomona spp., E. coli and S. aureus, which showed high antimicrobial resistance.
