The present study aimed to evaluate the resistance profile of bacteria isolated on surfaces of a public hospital in the city of Juazeiro do Norte-CE. The samples were collected on different surfaces, and transported in Stuart medium. These were inoculated in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) and later seeded in chromogenic medium, where the bacterial species were identified. To perform the resistance profile the disk diffusion method was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute/ NCCLS standard. The identification of the bacteria was performed in triplicate, where of 18 areas surveyed, totaling 54 surfaces, all showed microbial growth: Bacillus sp. (52%), Staphylococcus coagulase negative (14%), Enterococcus sp. (24%), Streptococcusagalactiae (5%) and Acinetobacter sp. (5%). The adoption of good practices for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces effectively reduces the risk of contamination by such vehicles.
