Tratamiento de las infecciones graves por Pseudomonas aeruginosa multirresistente / Treatment of severe multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections

Pseudomonas aeruginosa es el microorganismo que participa con mayor frecuencia en las principales infecciones adquiridas en la UCI, con especial importancia en la neumonía asociada a ventilación mecánica. Su importancia radica, además de en su elevada incidencia en el paciente crítico, en la gravedad de las infecciones que causa y en la dificultad de su tratamiento antimicrobiano, directamente relacionada con el elevado porcentaje de resistencias a los antibióticos considerados clásicamente de primera línea. Recientemente se han desarrollado nuevos antibióticos activos frente a Pseudomonas aeruginosa, incluso frente a cepas multirresistentes. La presente revisión analiza tanto las características diferenciales de las infecciones por Pseudomonas aeruginosa como las nuevas opciones terapéuticas, centrando el foco en la Pseudomonas aeruginosa multirresistente (AU)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the microorganism most frequently involved in the main ICU-acquired infections, with special importance in ventilator associated pneumonia. Its importance lies, in addition to its high incidence in critically ill patients, in the severity of the infections it causes and in the difficulty of its antimicrobial treatment, directly related to the high percentage of resistance to antibiotics classically considered first-line. New active antibiotics have recently been developed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, even against multi-drug resistant strains. This review analyzes both the differential characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and the new therapeutic options, focusing on multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AU)
