Caracterización de los perfiles de resistencia antimicrobiana

Abstract

Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011 declared antimicrobial resistance a public health problem and announced a global strategy against antimicrobial resistance. Objective To characterize the antimicrobial resistance profiles in the Riobamba General Hospital in 2020. Methodology The present project used a quantitative, retrospective study of analysis of information from the Vitek equipment database of bacterial cultures and susceptibility tests of the year 2020, it is quasi-experimental and of intervention since the WHONET software was used for the elaboration of the antimicrobial susceptibility primer. Results The microorganisms frequently isolated in 2020 were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, S. aureus and epidermidis. Urine and stool samples were the most prevalent, in addition, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were evidenced in pharyngeal secretion samples. The presence of carbapenem resistance was revealed in K. pneumoniae; and the prevalence of BLEE in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella. Conclusions: By characterizing the antimicrobial resistance profiles at the Riobamba General Hospital, the Institution's annual antimicrobial susceptibility primer was designed.
