RESUMEN

Introducción:

Staphylococcus aureus es un importante patógeno involucrado en una serie de infecciones cuyo impacto se incrementa por sus múltiples factores de virulencia y su resistencia a los antimicrobianos. La resistencia a clindamicina inducida por eritromicina constituye un problema creciente en diversas partes del mundo.

Objetivos:

determinar la frecuencia de resistencia a clindamicina inducida por eritromicina en Staphylococcus aureus aislados de 3 hospitales de Lima Metropolitana, la presencia de de cepas SAMR MLSBi y su relación con el origen biológico de las cepas. Material y

método:

entre mayo del 2005 y septiembre del 2006, se estudiaron 272 cepas de Staphylococcus aureus procedentes del Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas e Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño. Se determinó la resistencia a meticilina por el método Oxacillin Agar Screen, y la resistencia inducida a clindamicina usando el ensayo de inhibición por doble disco difusión en agar (D-Test). Se determinaron los fenotipos de MLSBi

Resultados:

se detectaron 13 cepas D-test positivo, de las cuales 9 (3,3 por ciento) fueron SAMS y 4 cepas fueron SAMR (1,5 por ciento). La resistencia total a clindamicina (constitutiva e inducida) representa el 48,2 por ciento del total de cepas evaluadas.

Conclusiones:

la frecuencia de resistencia inducida a clindamicina en cepas de Staphylococcus aureus nuestro país es aún baja tanto en cepas sensibles como resistentes a meticilina.
ABSTRACT

Background:

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen involved in many infections, and it has a greater impact because of its many virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance. Erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance in S. aureus is an increasing problem in different parts of the world.

Objectives:

To determine the frequency of Erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance in S. aureus isolates from three hospitals in Lima, Peru. To determine the presence of MRSA-MLSBi among these strains and their relationship with the biological origin of the resistant strains. Material and

methods:

272 Staphyloccus aureus strains were isolated in Cayetano Heredia National Hospital, The National Institute for Cancer, and The Children National Health Institute between May 2005 and September 2006. Resistance to methycillin resistance was determined using the Oxacillin Agar Screen, and erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance was assessed using the dual-disc agar diffusion methods (D-test). MLSBi phenotypes were also identified.

Results:

We found 13 D-test positive S. aureus strains, 9 (3.3 per cent) of them were MSSA and 4 were MRSA (1.5 per cent). Total resistance to clindamicyn (constitutive and inductive) was found in 48.2 per cent of the total strains tested.

Conclusion:

The frequency of Erythromycin-induced clindamycin resistance in S. aureus strains in our country is still low in both methycillin-susceptible and methycillin-resistant strains.
