ABSTRACT

Las infecciones provocadas por cepas resistentes se hacen cada día más difíciles de tratar con los antibióticos disponibles. Las causadas por Staphylococcus aureus multirresistente han alcanzado niveles sin precedentes y escasean los medicamentos efectivos para combatirla. La resistencia bacteriana es un problema global que disminuye las opciones terapéuticas en infecciones intra y extrahospitalarias y aumenta las posibilidades de fracaso y los costos de los tratamientos. Esta revisión pretende describir los mecanismos de resistencia de las cepas de Staphylococcus aureus y caracterizar las oxazolidinonas (linezolid), como una alternativa para el tratamiento de infecciones por este germen.


Infections caused by resistant strains are becoming more difficult to treat with available antibiotics. Those caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have reached unprecedented levels and effective drugs to treat them are often scarce. Bacterial resistance is a global problem that decreases therapeutic options in infections of both, hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. They increase the chances of failure as well as treatment costs. This review is aimed at describing the resistance mechanisms of Staphylococcus aureus strains and at characterizing oxazolidinones (linezolid), as an alternative for the treatment of infections caused by this germ.
