ABSTRACT

Introducción: En la actualidad, la resistencia antimicrobiana ha sido declarada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como un problema de salud pública. Objetivo: Determinar el perfil de resistencia antimicrobiana de uropatógenos en adultos mayores. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal de 567 urocultivos positivos de adultos mayores atendidos durante el año 2017 en una clínica privada en Lima, Perú. El análisis univariado se realizó por distribución de frecuencias, promedio y desviación estándar. Se estimó la asociación entre la producción de BLEE con respecto a las características epidemiológicas y el tipo de atención mediante Chi cuadrado con un nivel de significación de 0,05. Resultados: La edad promedio de la población fue de 74,1 años (DE:10,7). El 71,8 por ciento de los urocultivos positivos pertenecieron al sexo femenino. Los principales uropatógenos aislados en todos los niveles de atención fueron: E. coli, E. coli BLEE y K. pneumoniae BLEE. La E. coli presentó 69,3 por ciento de resistencia a ampicilina; y la E. coli BLEE tuvo el 100 por ciento de resistencia a ampicilina, ceftriaxona y ceftazidima. El 62 por ciento de microorganismos BLEE se encontraron en la atención ambulatoria. Se evidenció asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los agentes productores de BLEE y el sexo (p=0,004), mas no respecto al tipo de atención (p=0,144) ni subgrupos de edad (p=0,669). Conclusiones: La resistencia antimicrobiana es altamente prevalente en los adultos mayores. El sexo femenino fue el más afectado y el uropatógeno más frecuente la E. coli, este presenta una alta resistencia a ampicilina y mayor sensibilidad a nitrofurantoína. Se determinó un alto porcentaje de agentes productores de BLEE en la atención ambulatoria(AU)


Introduction: At present, the World Health Organization as a public health problem has declared antimicrobial resistance. Objective: To determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of uropathogens in older adults. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study of 567 positive urine cultures from older adults treated during 2017 in a private clinic in Lima, Peru. Univariate analysis was performed by frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation. The association between ESBL production with respect to epidemiological characteristics and type of care is estimated using Chi square with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The average age of the population was 74.1 years (SD: 10.7). 71.8percent of the positive urine cultures were from female sex. The main uropathogens isolated at all levels of care were E. coli, E. coli ESBL and K. pneumoniae ESBL. E. coli showed 69.3percent resistance to ampicillin; and E. coli ESBL had 100percent resistance to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and ceftazidime. 62percent of ESBL microorganisms were found in outpatient care. There was a statistically significant association between ESBL-producing agents and gender (p = 0.004), but not with regard to type of care (p = 0.144) or age subgroups (p = 0.669). Conclusions: Antimicrobial resistance is highly prevalent in older adults. The female sex was the most affected and the most frequent uropathogen was E. coli, highly resistant to ampicillin and greater sensitivity to nitrofurantoin. High percentage of ESBL-producing agents was determined in outpatient care(AU)

ABSTRACT

Las infecciones de las vías urinarias son a veces consideradas de poco interés médico, fácil de diagnosticar y tratar. Sin embargo, las mismas representan ingentes gastos para la Salud Pública, debido a su alta frecuencia, por los estudios de laboratorio necesarios para el adecuado manejo y de imágenes que son solicitados. Por otra parte los antibióticos utilizados en general, y en particular para los gérmenes que presentan resistencia a los mismos. En el presente artículo de revisión se exponen informaciones respecto a datos estadísticos de la frecuencia de las principales infecciones de vías urinarias en ambos sexos, el costo que representan los mismos, tasas de mortalidad, tasas de recurrencia y algunas perspectivas desde el punto de vista de la Salud Pública general y el de nuestro país en particular.


Urinary tract infections are sometimes considered of little medical interest, easy to diagnose and treat. However, they represent huge expenses for public health, due to their frequency, laboratory studies and images that are also requested by the antibiotics used in general and in particular for the germs that are resistant to them. In this review article we present information regarding statistical data on the frequency of the main urinary tract infections in both sexes, their cost, mortality rates, recurrence rates and some perspectives from the point of view of general Public Health and that of our country in particular.

ABSTRACT

El tratamiento de la infección del tracto urinario (ITU) en pacientes con diabetes mellitus (DM) depende de factores como la presencia de síntomas, de anormalidades urológicas, el nivel anatómico, la severidad de la ITU y la función renal. Como regla general el tratamiento de la ITU en pacientes con DM es similar al tratamiento de los pacientes sin DM. La elección del antibiótico deberá guiarse, además de las características del paciente, por los patrones de resistencia local a los uropatógenos. No existe indicación para tratar la bacteriuria asintomática en el paciente con diabetes. Siempre que sea posible la terapia antimicrobiana debe retrasarse a la espera de los resultados del urocultivo y antibiograma para que la terapia pueda dirigirse al agente patógeno específico. No está avalado que los pacientes con diabetes deban recibir tratamientos más prolongados. Conviene realizar ajuste de dosis de antimicrobianos en pacientes con deterioro del filtrado glomerular; en estos casos no elegir esquemas con drogas nefrotóxicas como los aminoglucósidos


The treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) depends on factors such as the presence of symptoms, urological abnormalities, anatomical level, severity of UTI and renal function. As a rule, the treatment of UTI in patients with DM is similar to the treatment of patients without DM. The choice of antibiotic should be guided, in addition to the characteristics of the patient, by the patterns of local resistance to uropathogens. There is no indication to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients with diabetes. Whenever antimicrobial therapy is possible, it should be delayed awaiting the urine culture results and antibiogram so that therapy can be directed to the specific pathogen. It is not supported that patients with diabetes should receive longer treatments. It is advisable to perform dose adjustment of antimicrobials in patients with impaired glomerular filtration; in these cases, schemes with nephrotoxic drugs such as aminoglycosides should not be chosen

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de uropatógenos, sensibilidad y resistencia antimicrobiana en la infección del tracto urinario que acuden al Hospital Básico Privado "Provida" del 1 de enero de 2014 al 31 de diciembre de 2016. Material y métodos: Se analizaron los resultados de 116 urocultivos de orina en mujeres no gestantes de todas las edades de 2014 a 2016, que fueron atendidas en el Hospital Básico Privado "Provida" de la cuidad de Latacunga, en Ecuador. El análisis de los datos obtenidos se realizó mediante estadística descriptiva. Resultados: De las 116 muestras, se aislaron: Escherichia coli (84,5%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (8,6%) y Proteus spp. (6,9%). E. coli mostró sensibilidad a ceftriaxona en el 70 %, seguido de fosfomicina y gentamicina con el 62 y el 60%, respectivamente. La sensibilidad hallada para quinolonas fue del 40% y la ampicilina sulbactam alcanzó el 37%. Proteus spp. mostró sensibilidad del 75% para gentamicina y del 50% para quinolonas y cefuroxima. S. saprophyticus tuvo sensibilidad superior al 50% para gentamicina, ampicilina sulbactam, quinolonas y nitrofurantoína. Para E. coli la resistencia más alta registrada fue con ampicilina en el 86,5%, seguido de las quinolonas con una resistencia superior al 50%. La ampicilina asociada a inhibidor de betalactamasas, fosfomicina, cefalosporinas, nitrofurantoína y aminoglucósidos mostró resistencia inferior al 25%. Conclusión: El agente patógeno más prevalente en infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU) es E. coli (84,7%), porcentaje coincidente con lo reportado en la literatura nacional y mundial. Los antimicrobianos para este uropatógeno con mayor resistencia fueron ampicilina (86%), cirprofloxacina (55%) y norfloxacina (53%). Se podría tener en cuenta en el momento de administrar una terapéutica empírica, dato que debería ser corroborado con información de susceptibilidades de acuerdo con el contexto.


Summary Objective: To determine the prevalence of uropathogens, sensitivity and antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections that go to the Private Basic Hospital "Provida" from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. Material and methods: The results of 116 urine cultures in non-pregnant women of all ages from 2014 to 2016, which were treated at the Private Basic Hospital "Provida" of the city of Latacunga, in Ecuador, were analyzed. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: In the 116 samples, Escherichia coli (84.5%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (8.6%) and Proteus spp. (6.9%) were isolated. E. coli showed sensitivity to ceftriaxone in 70%, followed by fosfomycin and gentamicin with 62 and 60%, respectively. The sensitivity found for quinolones was 40% and for sulbactam ampicillin reached a 37%. Proteus spp. showed sensitivity of 75% for gentamicin and 50% for quinolones and cefuroxime. S. saprophyticus had a sensitivity greater than 50% for gentamicin, sulbactam ampicillin, quinolones and nitrofurantoin. For E. coli the highest resistance recorded was found on ampicillin in 86.5%, followed by quinolones with a resistance greater than 50%. Ampicillin associated with inhibitor of beta-lactamase, fosfomycin, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin and aminoglycosides showed a resistance below 25%. Conclusion: The most prevalent pathogen in urinary tract infections (UTI) is E. coli (84.7%), a percentage that matches what has been reported in national and world literature. The antimicrobials for this uropathogen with the highest resistance were ampicillin (86%), ciprofloxacin (55%) and norfloxacin (53%). This should be taken into account when administering an empiric therapy, even though this data should be corroborated with the susceptibility information depending on the context.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las infecciones de vías urinarias (IVU) constituyen un problema de salud mundial. El aumento de la resistencia bacteriana a los antimicrobianos limita la administración de antibióticos económicos y de espectro limitado, lo que afecta el costo y el acceso a la atención. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar la sensibilidad, resistencia y germen causal en urocultivos realizados en pacientes con infección clínica de vías urinarias. Métodos: Estudio transversal. Se analizaron urocultivos de pacientes con infección clínica de vías urinarias, cada urocultivo correspondió a un paciente. Las variables fueron edad, género, microorganismo causal, resistencia y sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos. Se realizó en la Unidad de Medicina Familiar No. 222 del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social en Toluca Estado de México. Se evaluaron urocultivos con más de 100000 Unidades formadoras de colonias. Se realizó mediciones descriptivas, frecuencias y porcentajes en el programa SPSS v. 17 para Windows. Resultados: se incluyeron urocultivos de pacientes con infección clínica de vías urinarias. La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 50.09 ± 19.43 años, con predominio del género femenino (211 pacientes). Los agentes causales más frecuentes fueron: Escherichia Coli (51.91%), Proteus mirabilis (14.70%) y Staphylococcus (11.11 %). Los antibióticos con mayor sensibilidad fueron: imipenem, cefotetan y meropenem (34%). Los antimicrobianos con mayor resistencia fueron: ampicilina (24%), ciprofloxacino (22%) y ampicilina con sulbactam (20%). Conclusiones: los microorganismos más frecuentemente fueron: Escherichia coli y Proteus; y los antimicrobianos a los que mostraron más resistencia bacteriana fueron: ampicilina y quinolonas.


Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a global health problem. Increased bacterial resistance to antimicrobials limits the administration of low-spectrum antibiotics, which affect cost and access to care. The objective of this work is to determine the sensitivity, resistance and causal germ in urine cultures in patients with clinical urinary tract infection Methods: Transversal study. Urine cultures of patients with clinical urinary tract infection were analyzed, each urine culture corresponded to one patient. The variables were age, gender, causal microorganism, resistance and sensitivity to antimicrobials. It was performed at the Family Medicine Unit No. 222 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Toluca State of Mexico. Urocultures were evaluated with more than 100,000 colony forming units. Measurements were made frequencies and percentages in the SPSS program version 17 for Windows. Results: there were included 558 urine cultures; the average age was 50.09 ± 19.43 years, female predominance (211 patients). The most common causative microorganisms were Escherichia coli (51.91%), Proteus mirabilis (14.70%) and Staphylococcus (11.11%). Most sensitive antibiotics were: imipenem, meropenem and cefotetan (34%). Most resistance antimicrobial were: ampicillin (24%), ciprofloxacin (22%) and ampicillin with sulbactam (20%). Conclusions: Escherichia coli and Proteus were the most commonly isolated microorganisms; Ampicillin and quinolones showed more bacterial resistence.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: La bacteriuria asintomática con manejo inadecuado en el embarazo, se asocia con pielonefritis que puede llevar a complicaciones maternas y fetales. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los uropatógenos y su perfil de susceptibilidad, asociados a la presencia de bacteriuria asintomática en una muestra de mujeres gestantes. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en gestantes atendidas en el programa de control prenatal en una institución de primer nivel en el departamento del Atlántico, Colombia. Se realizó un muestreo por conveniencia a partir del universo de pacientes atendidas en el programa. Se hizo el diagnóstico de bacteriuria asintomática por la presencia de recuentos ≥ 105 colonias / mL de un solo germen. Para la identificación y determinación del perfil de susceptibilidad de las bacterias aisladas se utilizó el sistema automatizado Phoenix® BD. Se describe la prevalencia de bacteriuria asintomática, y la frecuencia y susceptibilidad por tipo de germen. Resultados: Ingresaron 226 gestantes. La frecuencia de bacteriuria asintomática fue del 10,6 %. El uropatógeno más frecuentemente aislado fue la Escherichia coli en un 25 % de los casos, seguida por Enterococcus faecalis en un 20,8 %. La resistencia a la ampicilina fue del 33,3 y 20 % respectivamente; el resto de enterobacterias identificadas presenta una resistencia natural a dicho antibiótico. La resistencia de E. coli para el sulfametoxazol fue del 66,6%, y de la E. coli y el E. faecalis a la nitrofurantoína fue del 16,6 y 20% respectivamente. Conclusiones: Se encuentra resistencia importante en el nivel de atención de los gérmenes más frecuentemente aislados en gestantes con bacteriuria asintomática a la ampicilina y el trimetoprim. La nitrofurantoína sigue siendo una buena opción para el tratamiento en la primera mitad del embarazo.


ABSTRACT Objective: Asymptomatic bacteriuria, when inadequately managed during pregnancy, is associated with pyelonephritis, which may give rise to maternal and foetal complications. The objective of this study was to characterize uropathogens associated with the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and their susceptibility profile in a sample of pregnant women. Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study in pregnant women coming to antenatal care at a Level I center in the Department of Atlantico, Colombia. A convenience sampling was made from the universe of patients seen in the programme. Asymptomatic bacteriuria was diagnosed on the basis of the finding of counts ≥ 105 colonies /mL of a single germ, unaccompanied by symptoms. An automated Phoenix® BD system was used for the identification and determination of the susceptibility profile of the bacterial isolates. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria, and the frequency and susceptibility by germ type are described. Results: Overall, 226 pregnant women were included. The frequency of asymptomatic bacteriuria was 10.6 %. The uropathogen most frequently isolated was Escherichia coli in 25 % of cases, followed by Enterococcus faecalis in 20.8 %. Ampicillin resistance was 33.3 % and 20 %, respectively; the rest of the enterobacteria identified show natural resistance to this antibiotic. For trimetoprim sulfametoxazol resistence was 66 %. Regarding Nitrofurantoin resistance was 1.6 % and 20 % for E. coli and E. faecalis, respectively. Conclusions: There is significant resistance of the most frequently isolated germs in pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria to ampicillin, trimetoprim sulfametoxazol Nitrofurantoin continues to be a good treatment option during the first half of the pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to identify multi-drug resistance (MDR) in the main enterobacteriaceae implicated in urinary tract infections (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) from both, community and hospitalized patients and to analyze the evolution over a 12-year period. METHODS: Microb Dynamic software was used to analyze the microbiology laboratory database and a chi square test was applied to compare differences in group proportions and to determine the linear trend over 12 years in three different periods: 2003-2006, 2007-2010, 2011-2014. We chose amoxicillin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole as MDR markers. RESULTS: A total of 39,980 positive urine samples were analyzed, 34,564 (3786 from hospitalized patients and 30,778 from non-hospitalized patients) E. coli isolates, and 5,422 (774 from hospitalized patients and 4,648 from non-hospitalized patients) K. pneumoniae isolates. The prevalence of UTI due to MDR E. coli and MDR K. pneumoniae significantly increased in the period studied, both in hospitalized and outpatients. A higher percentage of MDR E. coli (5.89% in 2007-2010 versus 8.18% in 2011-2014) and MDR K. pneumoniae (2.38% in 2007-2010 versus 9.35% in 2011-2014) was evident and maintained constant over time in hospitalized patients in comparison to non-hospitalized ones. Infection due to MDR ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae increased significantly during the last 8 years in both, hospitalized (20% versus 38% and 66.8% versus 82.6%, respectively) and non-hospitalized patients (18.2% versus 23.6% and 51% versus 74.6%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This study includes data of a large sample size of urinary strains isolated over a 12 year period and demonstrates that MDR is an increasing phenomenon of particular importance in the main UTI-causing species.

ABSTRACT

ResumenAntecedentes:las infecciones del tracto urinario representan motivo de consulta médica ambulatoria frecuentemente. Los altos y crecientes índices de resistencia antibiótica implican un reto para el médico tratante.Objetivo:obtener información epidemiológica del perfil de sensibilidad de las bacterias aisladas en los urocultivos.Metodología:entre febrero y junio de 2014, se recolectaron 602 resultados de urocultivos en diferentes laboratorios de las ciudades de San Pedro Sula y El Progreso, en Honduras. Las variables analizadas fueron sexo, edad y bacteria, y los antibióticos que presentaban mayor porcentaje de sensibilidad y resistencia en los urocultivos. Se utilizó el método de Kirby Bauer para valorar los perfiles de resistencia y sensibilidad en todos los laboratorios. Se elaboró una lista de 47 antibióticos de todos los laboratorios. Se correlacionaron las variables para describir los perfiles de resistencia y sensibilidad de la lista de antibióticos.Resultados:las bacterias aisladas fueron E. Coli (70,4%), Enterobacter spp (7,8%), Klebsiella spp (6,3%), Citrobacter spp (6,1%), Proteus spp (2,8%), Staphylococcus s spp (2,7%), Pseudomona aeruginosa (1,8%), Streptococcus spp (1,2%), Hafnia alveii (0,3%), Morganella morgagni (0,2%), Serratia marcenscens (0,2%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (0,2%). De 602 muestras, la sensibilidad general reportada fue: fosfomicina (n=415, 68,9%), amikacina (n=412, 68,4%), nitrofurantoína (n=376, 62,4%), gentamicina (n=364, 60,4%) y ceftriaxona (n=307, 50%). Se reportó una resistência general a trimetoprim sulfametoxazol (n=302, 50,1%), ciprofloxacina (n=230, 38,2%), levofloxacina (n=221, 36,7%), norfloxacina (n=220, 36,5%) y amoxicilina+ácido clavulánico (n=204, 33,8%).Conclusiones:los resultados de este estudio revelan que por su buen perfil de sensibilidad, antibióticos como la fosfomicina y la nitrofurantoína pueden ser una opción terapéutica empírica viable en pacientes con infecciones del tracto urinario bajo no complicadas, previo a utilizar antibióticos de amplio espectro, evitando así el desarrollo de resistencia antibiótica.


AbstractBackground:Urinary Tract Infections represent a frequent reason of ambulatory medical consult.The high and increasing percentages of antibiotic resistance represent a challenge for the physician treating them.Aim:To obtain epidemiological information of the sensibility profile from bacteria isolated in urine cultures.Methods:Between February and June of 2014, 602 urine culture samples were collected from different laboratories in the cities of San Pedro Sula and El Progreso, Honduras. The variables analyzed were sex, age and bacteria, antibiotics with higher sensibility and with higher resistance in urine culture. The Kirby Bauer method was used to determine the sensitivity and resistance profiles of each urine culture. A total of 47 antibiotics were used in all the laboratories. The variables were correlated to describe the resistance and sensibility profiles of the list of antibiotics.Results:The bacteria isolated were E. Coli (70.4%), Enterobacter spp (7.8%), Klebsiella spp (6.3%), Citrobacter spp (6.1%), Proteus spp (2.8%), Staphylococcus s spp (2.7%), Pseudomona aeruginosa (1.8%), Streptococcus spp (1.2%), Hafnia alveii (0.3%), Morganella morgagni (0.2%), Serratia marcenscens (0.2%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (0.2%). From 602 samples, the general sensitivity reported was: fosfomycin (n=415, 68.9%), amikacin (n=412, 68.4%), nitrofurantoin (n=376, 62.4%), gentamicin (n=364, 60.4%) y ceftriaxone (n=307, 50%). The resistance for all the samples reported was as follows trimetoprim sulfametoxazole (n=302, 50.2%), ciprofloxacin (n=230, 38.2%), levofloxacin (n=221, 36.7%), norfloxacin (n=220, 36.5%) y amoxicilin+clavulanic acid (n=204, 33.9%).Conclusions:The results in this research reveal that due to their good sensitivity profile, antibiotics like fosfomycin and nitrufurantoin can be a viable empiric therapy in patients with low urinary, or not complicated tract infection before using wide spectrum antibiotics, always personalizing according to the clinical state of the patient and trying to avoid the development of antibiotic resistance.

RESUMEN Introducción: la infección urinaria (IU) es una patología frecuente en los niños. La prevalencia de los uropatógenos varía de acuerdo a las regiones geográficas e incluso entre los diferentes centros asistenciales. El conocimiento de dicha prevalencia y de la sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos ayuda a la elección de la antibioticoterapia empírica inicial, permitiendo de esa manera, el control del cuadro agudo y evitando la resistencia bacteriana. Objetivo determinar la sensibilidad de los uropatógenos a los antimicrobianos obtenidos de urocultivos de niños menores de 24 meses con diagnóstico de IU provenientes de la comunidad. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, de corte transverso. Se analizaron los expedientes clínicos y resultados de urocultivos de lactantes menores de 24 meses internados en el Departamento de Pediatría del Hospital Nacional en el período comprendido entre enero de 2012 a diciembre de 2014 , con diagnóstico de IU. Resultados: los uropatógenos más frecuentemente obtenidos fueron: Escherichia coli (67,6%) seguido de Klebsiella pneumoniae (18,3%), Enterobacter cloacae (8,4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2,8%) y otros en 2,9%. La sensibilidad de la E. coli a la ciprofloxacina, las cefalosporinas y aminoglucósidos fue alta. El 14,6% de Escherichia coli fue productora de betalactamasa de espectro extendido (BLEE). El 100% de las cepas de Klebsiella pneumoniae fuer sensible a amikacina, ciprofloxacina y acidonalidíxico. Conclusiones: el germen más frecuentemente encontrado fue E. coli, seguido de la Klebsiella pneumoniae. El tratamiento de elección recomendado es la combinación de cefalospinas de primera generación asociado a aminoglucósidos, ya que con este esquema se cubrirá más del 95% de los uropatógenos causantes de infección de vías urinarias de la comunidad. Los gérmenes productores de infección urinaria atípica, deberán ser investigados.


ABSTRACT Introduction Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common pathology in children. The prevalence of uropathogens varies according to geographic regions and even between different care centers. Knowledge of this prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility helps to choose the initial empirical antibiotic therapy, thus allowing the control of the acute condition and avoiding bacterial resistance. Objective to determine the sensitivity of uropathogens to antimicrobials obtained from urine cultures of children younger than 24 months with diagnosis of UTI from the community. Material and methods: observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study. We analyzed the clinical records and results of urine cultures of infants under 24 months admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of the National Hospital in the period between January 2012 and December 2014, diagnosed as UI. Results: the most frequent uropathogen was Escherichia coli (67.6%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.3%), Enterobacter cloacae (8.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2.8%) and others in 2, 9%. The sensitivity of E. coli to ciprofloxacin, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides was high. 14.6% of Escherichia coli was a producers of extended spectrum betalactamase (ESBL). 100% of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains was a sensitive to amikacin, ciprofloxacin and acidonaldehyde. Conclusions: the more frequent germ found was E. coli, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The recommended treatment of choice is the combination of first-generation cephalosporins associated with aminoglycosides, as this scheme will cover more than 95% of the uropathogens that cause urinary tract infection in the community. Germs producing atypical urinary infection should be investigated.

ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common infectious diseases observed in primary care; up to one-third of women will have at least one symptomatic UTI by age 24, and more than one-half of women will be affected by the end of life. In addition, UTIs represent 40% of nosocomial infections, and being usually associated with urinary catheters. Although urine cultures would not be indicated in all cases, these samples are the most abundant in the laboratories of clinical microbiology. Thus, the working protocols applied to these samples have an important impact in the performance of the laboratory. The samples are collected by mid stream urine, and 60-70% of them are negative culture. At present, several commercial systems have been introduced in order to simplify and automate this process. A urine culture with ≥ 10(5) CFU/ml has classically been considered as positive, although lower counts are valued in certain clinical settings. Factors related to this count e.g. methods to obtain urine, conservation of the sample or use of chemical preservatives as well as low counts are critical points to be discussed in detail. The development of antimicrobial resistance logically affects uropathogens, mainly Escherichia coli, which remains the most frequently isolated in urine cultures. The aim of this paper is to review the most innovating aspects influencing the microbiological diagnosis of UTI.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La infección del tracto urinario en los niños es reconocida como una causa de morbilidad y de condiciones médicas crónicas, por lo que resulta indispensable conocer con claridad la patogénesis de esta enfermedad. Sin embargo, la resistencia creciente complica su tratamiento ya que aumenta la morbilidad, los costos, la estancia hospitalaria y el uso de fármacos de mayor espectro antimicrobiano. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de los uropatógenos aislados en niños. Métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 457 niños que asistieron a la consulta externa y a urgencias del Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, con síntomas de infección del tracto urinario baja no complicada. La orina fue tomada a la mitad del chorro o por cateterismo, y se realizó la identificación y la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana. Resultados: Los patógenos aislados con mayor frecuencia fueron: Escherichia coli (E. coli) (312, 68.3%), Enterococcus spp. (42, 11%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) (40, 8.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) (34, 7.5%), Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) (21, 4.5%), Enterobacter cloacae (8, 1.7%). La resistencia para trimetoprima/sulfametoxazol fue del 73.7, 62.2, 100, 52, 50%,respectivamente, para E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, P. mirabilis y Enterobacter spp., del 92.5% para Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) y del 49.9% para Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium). Para ampicilina fue del 86.3, 45, 100, 47.9 y 66.6% para las mismas bacterias, respectivamente. Para ciprofloxacina del 33.8, 9, 18.8, 0 y 0%; para nitrofurantoína del 4.4, 13, 97.7, 70, 0% para enterobacterias, del 0% para E. faecalis y del 16.7% para E. faecium. Conclusiones: Los antimicrobianos frecuentemente prescritos para el tratamiento empírico de la infección del tracto urinario no complicada demuestran resistencia importante o baja susceptibilidad cuando se les probó frente a las cepas aisladas.


Background: Urinary tract infection in children is well recognized as a cause of acute morbidity and chronic medical conditions. As a result, appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, however, increases antibiotic resistance and complicates its treatment due to increased patient morbidity, costs, rates of hospitalization, and use of broader-spectrum antibiotics. The goal of this study was to determine antibiotic susceptibility to commonly used agents for urinary tract infection against recent urinary isolates. Methods: A total of 457 consecutive children attending the emergency room at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez with symptoms of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection were eligible for inclusion. Patients who had had symptoms for ≥ 7 days and those who had had previous episodes of urinary tract infection, received antibiotics or other complicated factors were excluded. Midstream and catheter urine specimens were collected. All isolates were identified and the in vitro activities of antimicrobials were determined. Results: The most frequently isolated urinary pathogens were as follows: Escherichia coli (E. coli) (312, 68.3%), Enterococcus spp. (42, 11%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) (40, 8.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) (34, 7.5%), Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) (21, 4.5%), Enterobacter cloacae (8, 1.7%). The resistance to trimetoprim/sulfametoxazol (%) was 73.7, 62.2, 100, 52, and 50, respectively, for E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, P. mirabilis and Enterobacter spp., 92.5 for Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and 49.9 for Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium). Ampicillin was 86.3, 45, 100, 47.9, and 66.6% for the same strains, ciprofloxacin 33.8, 9, 18.8, 0, 0%, nitrofurantoin 4.4, 13, 97.7, 70, 0%; to E. faecalis 0% and 16.7% to E. faecium. Conclusions: Frequently prescribed empirical agents for uncomplicated urinary tract infection demonstrate lowered in vitro susceptibilities when tested against recent clinical isolates.

ABSTRACT

A infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é uma das causas que frequentemente leva homens e mulheres a procurarem tratamento nas unidades municipais de saúde. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo identificar quais os microorganismos responsáveis por esta infecção e seu perfil de resistência aos antimicrobianos mais utilizados na rede municipal. Foram coletadas 120 amostras de urina de pacientes com suspeita clínica de ITU e processados pelo sistema de laminocultura nos meios CLED, MacConkey e EC cromogênico, no laboratório de microbiologia I do Centro Universitário Positivo (UNICENP). As amostras positivas foram identificadas e submetidas ao antibiograma, sendo 63,64% das infecções presentes causadas por Escherichia coli e 18,18% por Staphylococcus aureus. A faixa etária de 12 aos 33 anos é responsável por mais de 60% das infecções. Foi encontrado um alto índice de amostras contaminadas, mostrando uma dificuldade no entendimento das orientações para a coleta. Outro dado relevante é que dentro do total das amostras analisadas, 35,8% foram de gestantes. Os antimicrobianos de maior sensibilidade para os microorganismos responsáveis pelo ITU foram, em sua maioria, aqueles não disponibilizados pelo SUS. A maioria das bactérias E. coli e 100% dos S. aureus isoladas, porém, apresentaram sensibilidade aos medicamentos Nitrofurantoína e Sulfametoxazol-trimetropim, disponíveis gratuitamente nas unidades de saúde. Com um quadro clínico compatível, o tratamento empírico com as drogas referidas seria adequado, sendo o ideal que se faça um exame de controle pós tratamento para evitar o surgimento de cepas resistentes na comunidade.


Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the causes that often leads men and women to seek treatment in municipal health units. The present work aims to identify which the microorganisms responsible for this infection and antimicrobial resistance profile your most used in the municipal network. 120 urine samples were collected from patients with clinical suspicion of UTI and processed by the laminocultura system in HAZY, MacConkey chromogenic and EC in the Microbiology Laboratory (I) Positive University Center (UNICENP). The positive samples were identified and subjected to the antibiogram, 63.64% of infections being present caused by Escherichia coli and 18.18% by Staphylococcus aureus. The age range of 12 to 33 years is responsible for more than 60% of infections. Was found a high rate of contaminated samples, showing a difficulty in understanding the guidelines to the collection. Another fact is that within the total of samples analysed, 35.8% of pregnant women. Antimicrobials of greatest sensitivity to the microorganisms responsible for the ITU were, in your most, those not provided by SUS. Most of the bacteria e. coli and 100% of s. aureus isolated, however, showed sensitivity to medications Nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim-trimetropim, available for free at health units. With a clinical picture compatible, empirical treatment with the drugs listed would be suitable, being ideal to do a control test post treatment to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant strains in the community.
