Introduction: Bloodstream infections have presented important changes in their epidemiology, etiology and clinic, currently standing out for their significant morbidity and mortality, in addition to an increase in their incidence worldwide. Materials and Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study of all blood cultures taken from the population attended with suspected sepsis in a hospital in the years 2021 and 2022. Results: A total of 5257 blood cultures, with bacterial growth in 21.15% (1112) of the samples, gram-negative bacteria in 65.29% (n=726) and gram-positive bacteria in 34.71% (n=386). The shortest bacterial growth time in all blood cultures was in Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae (3.60 hours) and the maximum bacterial growth time was in Staphylococcus hominis ssp hominis (93.80 hours). The minimum bacterial growth time of gram-negative bacteria, the mean was 15.86 hours (SD ± 10.78 hours) and a median of 13.30 hours. The minimum bacterial growth time of gram-positive bacteria, the mean was 16.41 hours (SD ± 8.20 hours) and a median of 14.70 hours. Conclusions: the bacterial growth times are similar in gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria; however, it should be noted that the minimum growth time was obtained in a gram-negative germ and the maximum in a gram-positive germ.
