RESUMEN
Las pautas de abordaje de los pacientes con COVID-19, al inicio de la pandemia, se realizó por ensayo, ya que se desconocía la fisiopatología de esta nueva enfermedad, entre las acciones médicas se describió el uso de antiboticoterapias de manera indiscriminada, también se instó a realizar desinfección profundas, muchas veces, con sustancias químicas con impacto negativo en la salud ambiental, tanto a nivel de la microbiota encargada del equilibrio ecológico, como en la contaminación ambiental, principalmente del agua. Aunado a esto, debido a la emergencia sanitaria, se requirió usar en mayor cantidad equipos de protección personal de un solo uso y, como consecuencias el aumento de desechos sólidos peligrosos, cuya composición son de degradación tardía. Por tanto, la respuesta sanitaria ante la pandemia, probablemente fue escenario para acentuar la resistencia antimicrobiana y el riesgo de daño ambiental. En este, artículo se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científicas en torno a estos tópicos, las evidencias demostraron el aumento de mecanismos de resistencias de bacterias, principalmente, patógenas del tracto respiratorio. De igual manera, el impacto negativo por uso irracional de desinfectantes químicos, traducido en bacterias resistentes especialmente a compuestos de amonio cuaternario. La bioacumulación y biomagnificación de estas sustancias ha provocado toxicidad, mutaciones, propagación de genes de resistencia. Por lo tanto, se sugiere que se priorice las estrategias que mitiguen el rastro que ha venido extendiéndose al paso de la pandemia por el SAR- CoV-2(AU)
ABSTRACT
The guidelines for the approach of patients with COVID-19, at the beginning of the pandemic, were carried out by trial, since the pathophysiology of this new disease was unknown, among the medical actions the use of antibiotic therapies indiscriminately was described, also the urged to carry out deep disinfection, many times, with chemical substances with a negative impact on environmental health, both at the level of the microbiota responsible for the ecological balance, and in environmental pollution, mainly of water. In addition to this, due to the health emergency, it was required to use more single-use personal protective equipment and, as a consequence, the increase in hazardous solid waste, whose composition is delayed degradation. Therefore, the health response to the pandemic was probably the setting to accentuate antimicrobial resistance and the risk of environmental damage. In this article, a systematic review of the scientific literature on these topics was carried out, the evidence demostrated the increase in resistance mechanisms of bacteria, mainly pathogens of the respiratory tract. Anyways, the negative impact due to the irrational use of chemical disinfectants, translated into resistant bacteria, especially to quaternary ammonium compounds. The bioaccumulation and biomagnification of these substances has caused toxicity, mutations, propagation of resistance genes. Therefore, it is suggested that strategies be prioritized that mitigate the trail that has been spreading as the pandemic passed by SAR-CoV-2(AU)
