  ABSTRACT: Multidrug-resistant microrganisms (MDROs) infections are a major challenge in hospitals. MDROs affect developed and developing countries and even intensive care and non-intensive care units. In this context, we conducted a study which aims to identify the factors leading to the acquisition of MDROs in a non-intensive care unit. Our study was a retrospective and analytical study. The frequency of diabetes was 64%. The factors leading to the acquisition of MDROs were: invasive medical care (P
