Perfil de resistencia bacteriana en pacientes con infección de vías urinarias desde 1 mes a 17 años ingresados en el Hospital “Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde” durante el periodo 2016-2017.

Abstract

Background: Accelerated growth in the number of diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotic treatments has been observed annually in the world. This great acceleration has a direct link with the abuse and misuse of these therapeutic agents. Objective: To describe the bacterial resistance in patients with urinary tract infection from 1 month to 17 years, admitted to the "Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde" Hospital during the period 2016-2017.Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was carried out with 300 patients diagnosed with urinary tract infection admitted to the "Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde" Hospital during the study period. For the analysis of the results, descriptive statistics measures were used. Results: The most frequent isolated germ was E. Coli (79.7%). Sensitivity to amikacin was maintained throughout the antibiograms, resistance was also found in 67.7% for ampicillin and ampicillin/sulbactam, 52% for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, 47% for ceftriaxone, 41.3% for nitrofurantoin, 38.7% for gentamicin, 37.3% to ciprofloxacin, 27.7% to norfloxacin and cefuroxime. 43.7% of cases required between 7 and 14 days of admission, with a mean of 9.1 and a standard deviation of ± 5.2 days. Conclusions: The most frequently isolated germ was E. coli, with a high incidence of ESBL-producing E. coli, showing an increased sensitivity to Amikacin and resistance to Ampicillin.
