Perfil de sensibilidade de uropatógenos em gestantes de um hospital de ensino do município de São Paulo / Sensitivity profile of uropathogens in pregnant women at a teaching hospital in the city of São Paulo

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana do patógeno mais comum causador da infecção do trato urinário (ITU) de gestantes que foram internadas em um hospital de ensino do município de São Paulo em determinado período. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal, quantitativo, realizado avaliando as uroculturas positivas e o perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana dos agentes mais comuns encontrados em ITUs das gestantes de hospital e maternidade-escola do município de São Paulo de janeiro de 2019 até janeiro de 2020. Resultados: A partir da análise de uroculturas positivas e antibiograma de 149 gestantes admitidas com quadro de infecção urinária no referido hospital no intervalo de tempo analisado, constatou-se que 83,89% dos casos apresentaram como patógeno a bactéria Escherichia coli. No âmbito da resistência bacteriana, percebeu-se que o maior índice foi encontrado no que tange a cefalotina (65%), ampicilina (58%) e ampicilina/sulbactam (45%). Ademais, a partir das análises individuais, 20 pacientes, ou seja, aproximadamente 13,42% apresentaram cepas sensíveis a todas as medicações apontadas, e as demais apresentaram resistência a, pelo menos, uma delas. Conclusão: A partir da premissa de eficácia desempenhada pelo protocolo de medicação empírica estabelecido pela instituição no tocante ao tratamento de infecção do trato urinário em gestantes, a cefalotina certamente não deveria compor o rol de drogas ofertadas às pacientes. Isso se dá, pois a sensibilidade apresentada pela Escherichia coli, patógeno que mais comumente está associado aos quadros de ITU do serviço, a essa droga é muito baixa. Já a nitrofurantoína apresentou um satisfatório espectro de cobertura, sendo a resistência à droga inferior a 10%. Com isso, conclui-se que ela deve permanecer como droga inicial para as ITUs das gestantes que chegam a essa instituição.(AU)

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial sensitivity profile of the most common pathogen that causes urinary tract infection (ITU) in pregnant women who were admitted to a Teaching Hospital in the city of São Paulo in a specific period. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional, quantitative study carried out evaluating positive urine cultures and the antimicrobial sensitivity profile of the most common agents found in ITU of pregnant women at Teaching Maternity hospital in the city of São Paulo from January 2019 to January 2020. Results: From the of positive urine culture and antibiogram of 149 pregnant women admitted with a urinary tract infection in the referred hospital in the analyzed period of time, it was found that 83.89% of the cases presented the bacterium Escherichia coli as a pathogen. In the scope of bacterial resistance, it was noticed that the highest index was found with respect to Cephalothin (65%), ampicillin (58%) and ampicillin/sulbactam (45%). Furthermore, from the individual analyzes, 20 patients, that is, approximately 13.42% had strains sensitive to all the medications indicated, with the others showing resistance to at least one of them. Conclusion: Based on the premise of efficacy performed by the empirical medication protocol established by the institution regarding the treatment of urinary tract infection in pregnant women, Cephalothin should certainly not be included in the list of drugs offered to patients. This happens because the sensitivity presented by Escherichia coli, the most commonly pathogen associated with the UTI pathogen of the service, to this drug is very low. Nitrofurantoin, on the other hand, presented a satisfactory coverage spectrum, with drug resistance below 10%. Thus, it is concluded that this should remain as an initial drug for ITUs of pregnant women who arrive at this institution.(AU)

Prevalencia de β-lactamasa CTX-M-15 en grupos filogenéticos de Escherichia coli uropatógena aisladas en pacientes de la comunidad en Mérida, Venezuela / Prevalence of β-lactamase CTX-M-15 in phylogenetic groups of uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from patients in the community of Merida, Venezuela

En este estudio se determinó la prevalencia de b-lactamasas de espectro extenso (BLEEs) en grupos filogenéticos de E. coli uropatógena (ECUP) aislados en pacientes de la comunidad. Durante Enero 2009 a Julio 2010, se coleccionaron 21 cepas de ECUP, con susceptibilidad disminuida a las cefalosporinas de amplio espectro, provenientes de pacientes que asistieron al Laboratorio de Salud Pública del estado Mérida, Venezuela con diagnóstico de infección del tracto urinario (ITU). La caracterización genotípica determinó que todas las cepas ECUP albergaban genes blaBLEEs. En el 76,2% de las cepas se observó la presencia de un único gen productor de BLEE, representado por blaCTX-M-15, mientras que el 23,8% estuvo conformado por ECUP con diversas combinaciones de genes bla (blaCTX-M-15 + blaTEM-1, blaCTX-M-15 + blaSHV y blaSHV + blaTEM-1). El 61,9% de los aislados se ubicó en el filogrupo A y el resto de las cepas en el grupo B2 (38,1%). No se evidenció la diseminación de una clona de ECUP particular, solo 7 cepas demostraron pertenecer a un grupo clonal con un índice de similitud de más de 85%. De acuerdo a nuestro conocimiento, esta es la primera descripción de blaCTX-M-15 en ECUP causantes de ITU en pacientes de la comunidad, lo que evidencia que Venezuela también forma parte de la llamada pandemia CTX-M-15. Los hallazgos obtenidos en este estudio y las implicaciones clínicas y epidemiológicas que de ello derivan, conllevan a la necesidad de controlar y vigilar la diseminación de ECUP productora de CTX-M-15 no sólo en el ámbito regional sino también nacional.

In this study we determined the prevalence of extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) in phylogenetic groups of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) isolated from patients in the community. Twenty one UPEC strains with reduced susceptibility to broad-spectrum cephalosporins were collected between January 2009 and July 2010, from patients with urinary tract infection who attended the Public Health Laboratory in Mérida, Venezuela. Genotypic characterization determined that all UPEC strains harbored blaBLEEs genes: 76.2% of the strains showed the presence of a single ESBL-producer gene, represented by blaCTX-M-15, whereas 23.8% of UPEC showed various combinations of bla genes (blaCTX-M-15 + blaTEM-1, blaCTX-M-15 + blaSHV and blaSHV + blaTEM-1). In this study, 61.9% of the isolates were placed in phylogroup A and the remaining strains were assigned to group B2 (38.1%). There was no evidence of spread of a particular UPEC clone; only seven strains belonged to a clonal group with an index of similarity greater than 85%. To our knowledge, this is the first description of blaCTX-M-15 in UPEC from patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections, which shows that Venezuela is also part of the so-called CTX-M-15 pandemic. The findings in this study, as well as its clinical and epidemiological implications, lead to the need for monitoring and controlling the spread of CTX-M-15 producing UPECs, not only regionally, but also nationwide.
