INFECCIONES POR UROPATÓGENOS Y SU RESISTENCIA A LOS ANTIMICROBIANOS EN LOS USUARIOS QUE ACUDEN AL LABORATORIO CLÍNICO GAMMA DE LA CIUDAD DE PORTOVIEJO, ENERO A NOVIEMBRE DEL 2017

Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to determine Infections due to Uropathogens and their Resistance to Antimicrobials in patients who attended the Gamma Clinic Laboratory in Portoviejo from January to November 2017. For this purpose, both male and female patients were chosen. all ages whose urine samples analyzed for cultures were positive for the growth of some type of microorganism. This in order to obtain current, real and reliable information about the main pathogens affecting the urinary tract that present different degrees of susceptibility to antibiotics in the study population. For this investigation, the technique used was the collection of data which were obtained from the Avalab system managed by the Gamma Clinical Laboratory, however, the scientific basis was taken from scientific articles, scientific texts and relevant web pages on the subject. From a total of 2,549 samples analyzed for cultures, it was identified that 824 patients showed bacterial growth in urine cultures, from which it was concluded that the most frequent sex that is generally susceptible to contracting urinary tract infections is the female with 79, 73% being the most common causal agents Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp, Proteus mirabilis¸ On the other hand, uropathogens were identified that developed the ability to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases capable of inactivating penicillins, broad spectrum cephalosporins, monobactams and, to a lesser extent, aminoglycosides. While one case developed multiresistance. Therefore, with each record of the antibiogram corresponding to each patient, we proceeded to evaluate the percentage of resistance and bacterial sensitivity of each uropathogen with the different established antibiotics
