Bacterial infections are important causes of death. Some reports have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on drug resistance. The objective of this work was to compare the resistance profiles between 2019 and 2020 in the emergency department, non-intensive care units (ICU), and ICU areas in Mexican hospitals. Databases from 15 hospitals from eight states in Mexico including susceptibility results for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected from blood, urine, respiratory, and intra-abdominal secretions were analyzed. Different hospital areas were included: emergency department, non-ICU wards, and ICU. The databases were converted using the BacLink2 tool and analyzed using the WHONET 2022 platform. The percentage of antibiotic resistance was compared for each species and clinical specimen between years (2019 vs 2020) by a chi-square test using the criterion of P
