Abstract
The microbial resistance developed during the pandemic period is a factor that could have adverse consequences on global health in short and long term, directly interfering in the future of empirical treatments and in the way such drugs will be administered in the coming decades. The purpose of this study is to report on how the pandemic resulted in several consequences related to microbial resistance. In this report, data collected through PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and ScienceDirect will be presented. The results include increased use of antimicrobials, changes in the oral and intestinal microbiota, emergence of multidrug-resistant strains, increase in cases of bacterial co-infections in patients infected with the COVID-19 virus and increase in the number of infections by Acinetobacter baumannii during the pandemic. From these results, it is concluded that the bacterial multidrug resistance was aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
