RESUMEN
El género Klebsiella tiene importancia en hospitales y sanatorios por su tendencia a causar brotes. Una característica sobresaliente es la resistencia natural y/o adquirida a antimicrobianos. Según la red WHONET - Argentina, existe circulación de Klebsiella en nosocomios, particularmente en salas de terapia intensiva. En este trabajo se evaluó la presencia de Klebsiella spp. en 1233 pacientes de un sanatorio de la ciudad de Resistencia (Chaco), durante el período 2015 ­ 2017. La detección de la bacteria se realizó por cultivo y la sensibilidad se determinó por difusión en agar. Se detectó Klebsiella en 5.6% (69) de las muestras y multirresistencia en 84% de los aislamientos. Se concluye que existe circulación de Klebsiella en la institución, debe ser correctamente identificada y establecido su nivel de resistencia. Esto es fundamental para disminuir los fracasos terapéuticos
ABSTRACT
The Klebsiella genus is important in hospitals and sanatoriums because of its tendency to cause outbreaks. An outstanding characteristic is the natural and / or acquired resistance to antimicrobials. According to the WHONET-Argentina network, there is Klebsiella circulation in hospitals, particularly in intensive care rooms. In this work, we searched Klebsiella spp. in 1233 patients from a sanatorium in the city of Resistencia (Chaco), during the period 2015 - 2017. The detection of the bacteria was carried out by culture and the sensitivity was determined by agar diffusion. Klebsiella was detected in 5.6% (69) of the samples and multiresistance in 84% of the isolates. It is concluded that there is Klebsiella circulation in the institution, it must be correctly identified and its level of resistance established. This is essential to reduce therapeutic failures
