ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Las Infecciones de vías urinarias son una causa de consulta muy frecuente en primer nivel de atención en salud. Describir los gérmenes más frecuentemente aislados y los patrones de resistencia a los antibióticos en urocultivos y antibiogramas de pacientes de primer nivel de atención de Pereira. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal, en una población de 131 608 afiliados al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud entre el 1 de enero de 2010 y 7 de abril de 2011 evaluando las bacterias aisladas en urocultivos procesados con más de 100 000 Unidades Formadoras de Colonias y resultados de sensibilidad y resistencia de antibiogramas. La resistencia se evaluó bajo parametros de Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute mediante método manual de difusión de disco Kirby-Bauer con sensidiscos Beckton Dickinson Diagnostics. Resultados: Se realizaron 5 226 urocultivos, de los cuales 1 058 mostraron crecimiento de uropatógenos. Un total de 792 (74,9 %) cultivos reportó el crecimiento de más de 105 UFC, Los microorganismos más frecuentemente aislados fueronEscherichia coli(67,2 %),Klebsiella sp(19,2 %) yEnterococcus sp(7,8 %).Escherichia colimostró sensibilidad alta para amoxicilina/clavulanato (100 %), nitrofurantoina (94,8 %), ceftriaxona (86,3 %), ciprofloxacina (71,0 %) y resistencia elevada para ampicilina (54,7 %), amoxicilina (50,0 %), trimetoprimsulfametoxazole (43,8 %) y cefalotina (42,8 %). Conclusiones: Nitrofurantoina puede ser la mejor opción terapéutica en primera línea de manejo en infecciones de vías urinarias bajas y ciprofloxacina para pielonefritis debido a su efectividad y poca resistencia en primer nivel de atención en Pereira.
Objectives: Describing the bacteria most frequently isolated from and antibiotic resistance patterns in urine cultures taken from patients attending general practice healthcare institutions in Pereira as urinary tract infections are a frequent cause for primary healthcare attention. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional observational study of 131,608 members of the health social security system was carried out between January 1st 2010 and April 7th 2011;the bacteria isolated from urine cultures having more than 105 colony-forming units (CFU) were assessed, as were the sensitivity and antibacterial agents’ resistance results. Resistance was evaluated in line with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) parameters by means of the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion manual method with Beckton Dickinson diagnostic disks. Results: 5,226 urine cultures were analysed, 1,058 of which showed uropathogengrowth. Bacterial growth was reported in 792 cultures (74.9 %), having more than 105 CFU. The most frequently isolated microorganisms were Escherichia coli (67.2 %), Klebsiella sp (19.2 %) and Enterococcus sp (7.8 %).Escherichia colishowed high sensitivity to amoxicillin / clavulanate (100 %), nitrofurantoin (94.8 %), ceftriaxone (86.3 %), ciprofloxacin (71.0 %) and high resistance to ampicillin (54.7 %), amoxicillin (50.0 %), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (43.8 %) and cephalothin (42.8 %). Conclusions: Nitrofurantoin may be the best therapeutic option in first-line management of lower urinary tract infection and ciprofloxacin for pyelonephritis due to its effectiveness and low resistance as seen in primary healthcare practice in Pereira.
