Prevalencia de bacterias resistentes a los antimicrobianos en infección de vías urinarias

Abstract

Urinary tract infections are among the main infections that cause medical consultations at the primary care and hospital level, with women being the most affected and the population vulnerable to this type of infection, but UTIs can affect any age and gender. Nowadays, due to UTIs and antimicrobial resistance, it impairs the choice of treatment for this condition and adds amounts of expenses at the public health level, being a main concern for medical entities. Therefore, Objective: the present investigation is carried out with the objective of determining the prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in urinary tract infection and their pattern of susceptibility to antimicrobials, due to their high prevalence, the risk of recurrence and inadequate empirical treatment. Methods:It was carried out with the bibliographic article modality, where documentary research was used through a search of the literature in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar databases, from all the articles those that provided the information were selected. information necessary to fulfill the objective of the investigation. Conclusions: The results show that: the highest frequency of resistance for E. coli was observed for cephalothin (75.8%), ampicillin (72.6%) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (55.3%). Concluding that according to the data collected in the bibliographic search in relation to the various bacteria resistant to antimicrobials in urinary tract infection, it can be concluded that E. coli is one of the main bacteria in UTIs, and in addition to this, this bacterium can be resistant to antibiotics such as: ampicillin, quinolines and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
