ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial resistance has become a worldwide problem due to its excessive increase in recent years. The aim of the present review was to bring together data from different articles describing the levels of antimicrobial resistance in the most common gastrointestinal infections reported across the globe. The literature search was carried out in Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, and Pubmed, with the terms "antimicrobial resistance", "resistance in gastrointestinal disorders", and "resistance in amoebiasis", in Spanish and English. Mexican treatment guidelines and consensuses from 2017 to the present were utilized. Publications from the last ten years were chosen to describe the level of resistance. They had adequate sample sizes, the Material and Methods sections were precise, and they included multicenter studies, national and international consensuses, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and extensive texts. The final number of articles was 51. The microorganisms that demonstrated the highest percentage of resistance were Helicobacter pylori (metronidazole 50%-80%, clarithromycin 20%-40%, and levofloxacin 30%-35%), Clostridioides difficile (clindamycin 8.3%-100%, cephalosporines 51%), Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli (fluoroquinolones 85%), Escherichia coli (ampicillin 76.5%), Entamoeba histolytica (metronidazole 50%), and bacterial peritonitis (third-generation cephalosporines 40%, methicillin 85%). Antimicrobial resistance is reaching elevated percentages, making it necessary to evaluate the situation of each patient, to successfully treat gastrointestinal infections.
