Abstract

A descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted aimed at knowing the most frequent bacterial isolations found in different biological samples (sputum, blood and urine) of HIV/AIDS patients attending to the outpatient office at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital, from January to December 2007. Most of the numbers of isolations were from sputum samples, resulting Pseudomonas aeruginosa the most isolated microorganism in all samples (28, 5%). In blood the isolated bacteria having the greatest frequency was Staphylococcus epidermidis (48, 5%). In urine, the uropathogenic microorganism most frequent found was Escherichia coli (43, 5%). Specificity of the species existed according to anatomic localization in HIV/AIDS patients.
