The incidence of secondary lung infections in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is not well understood. The results of bacteriological research for nonspecific flora of sputum or flushing from the respiratory tract were analyzed for 820 out of 3040 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at the Research Institute of Lung Diseases in Baku. Secondary respiratory microflora was detected in 771 (94%) patients. in 347 (42.3%) cases, fungi of the genus Candida were found, and in 211 (25.7%) patients this was observed simultaneously with the bacterial microflora. Among bacterial infections, the most common pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (n109), Klebsiella Pneumoniae (n41), Escherichia Coli (n38), Enterobacter (n33), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n32)Downloads
