Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections cause a burden in morbidity and mortality, and they increase the financial cost of care. Nevertheless, they are not limited to setting factors, and several community conditions and contexts are linked. Clinical laboratories from hospitals report monthly to the Public Health Laboratory. Objective: The study aims to establish the antimicrobial resistance profile of the most significant bacteria involved in healthcare-associated infections in Meta State hospitals. Methodology: The researchers designed a retrospective observational trial with the records from samples and origin, microbial findings, and antibiogram. The outcome was the mechanism for antimicrobial resistance. The information from the State Public Health Laboratory database was exported to Excel for analysis. Conclusions: The outlook of Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus antimicrobial resistance in hospitals from Meta State will be revealed. Comprehensive strategies for mitigation, including continuous microbiological surveillance, are needed.
