Abstract

We know that nosocomial infection is also a huge problem, especially during the pandemic, where there is a huge demand and few health professionals, thus jeopardizing even the hygiene that occurs quickly to attend patients promptly. In these environments there are also protocols that are already used to prevent or treat bacteria, with the Covid protocol also using antibiotics, this can lead to a future chaos of bacterial resistance. This work intends to evaluate articles that talk about the use of antibiotics in patients with COVID-19, in order to present what may lead to a future increase in the resistance of bacteria, making treatment difficult. Data were collected using the scientific bases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of medicine (PUBMED), PERIODICOS, SCIENCE DIRECT, Virtual Health Library - (BVS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Cochrane Library, HighWire Press, Scopus and Elsevier. The published works were analyzed and compared for greater relevance of the results and evaluating the data on the use of antibiotics for patients with SARS-CoV-2. A total of 21 articles were found in the scientific bases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of medicine (PUBMED), PERIODICOS, SCIENCE DIRECT, Virtual Health Library - (BVS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Cochrane Library, HighWire Press, Scopus and Elsevier. The following descriptors were used: HOSPITAL INFECTION, ANTIBIOTICS, SARS-COV-2, COVID-19 in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Where we obtained the articles described below in table 1 and discussed in the form of topics related to the theme. \ In this work we can see that there is a need for hygiene not only to avoid contagion in patients, but also to reduce bacterial or fungal growth, also the use of personal protective equipment. Where since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been a large number of cases, and thus increasing co-infections due to nosocomial infections. We observed that each service has a peculiarity of hygiene and service organization.
