    RESISTENCIA ANTIMICROBIANA DE ENTEROCOCCUS SPP. Y SU RELACIÓN CON INFECCIONES ENDO-PERIODONTICAS EN CENTROS ODONTOLÓGICOS

    Antimicrobial resistance is a public health problem worldwide, the incidence of infections by gram-positive microorganisms is high, both in the hospital environment and in the community, the isolation of Enterococcus spp. in the microbiology laboratory allows the detection of their antimicrobial resistance in endo-periodontic infections, both at phenotypic and genotypic level, which has great clinical and epidemiological significance. To determine the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus spp. strains and their relationship with endo-periodontic infections in dental centers. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out with a quantitative, qualitative, and descriptive approach because the problem was thoroughly detailed in order to identify the strains of Enterococcus spp. causing oral infections and their resistance to antibiotics, of the 150 samples processed, 30 Enterococcus feacalis were isolated with resistance to gentamycin and ampicillin, additional research was done in scientific databases that acquired resistance genes, efflux pump mechanisms, alterations in therapeutic targets, In addition, informative brochures were prepared for patients attending dental centers to improve education and awareness of the importance of oral hygiene, the rational use of antibiotics, as well as endo-periodontal, the strains of Enterococcus spp. present in endo-periodontic infections were identified by manual methods. strains present in endo-periodontic infections were identified by manual methods, then differential biochemical tests were performed between species where Enterococcus feacalis prevails, the susceptibility profile was analyzed where resistance to the antibiotics gentamycin and ampicillin, was observed, scientific databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science with relevant scientific articles were used to investigate the factors of antimicrobial resistance strains and the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus spp. were analyzed.
