Background and Objectives: Monitoring multidrug-resistant microorganisms is crucial for containing their spread in healthcare settings. The aim of this study was to describe the main epidemiological characteristics of multidrug-resistant microorganisms identified and reported in Porto Alegre in 2021 and 2022. Methods: This quantitative, descriptive epidemiological study is based on an analysis of secondary data from the Porto Alegre Municipal Health Department. Results: During the analyzed period, 15,016 multidrug-resistant microorganisms were identified. Enterobacterales were the most frequently reported microorganisms. An increase in notifications was observed in 2021 and 2022, which was associated with the improvement and strengthening of the city's surveillance process. Conclusion: The significant increase in notifications may be related to improvements in epidemiological surveillance, reflecting enhanced monitoring and detection of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in Porto Alegre.
