Objective: To analyze the prevalence of germs related pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation and their sensitivities profiles. Methods: descriptive epidemiological study, with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 99 patients using mechanical ventilation in two intensive care units in a public and teaching hospital in the municipality of Teresina-Piauí. The data were collected by means of a form in the months of January and February 2009, statistically processed and presented in the form of tables. Results: The most prevalent pathogens were: Klebsiella spp (40,40%); Bacillus Gram-Negativo non-fermentor (24,24%); Staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa (17,17%). There was a higher bacterial susceptibility to imipenem (76,77%), meropenem (72,73%) and cefepime (58,59%). Conclusion: Appropriate therapy and prevention strategies reduce the prevalence rates of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation and the emergence of microbial resistance.... view less
