Frecuencia del enterococo en la infección de vías urinarias y su sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos en pacientes del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso de la ciudad de Cuenca, 2010

Abstract

Background: The Infection of the Tract Urinal is a very frequent pathology in our patients, therefore it is important to know the causal agents of this pathology that it is the Enterococo in our study. Objectives: To know the frequency of the Enterococo in the Infection of the Tract Urinal and their sensibility to the antimicrobianos. Patient and methods: He/she was carried out a study of descriptive type in 400 patients of the Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso in who were carried out urocultivos and antibiogramas of the positive one for Enterococo, determining the sensibility and resistance from this patógeno to the used antimicrobianos. You gathers the such patient's information as age, sex, residence, and hospital service of where the same one comes. Results: the frequency of the enterococo like causal agent of the infection of the tract urinal was of 15.3%. you/he/she Showed a bigger frequency in the patients of feminine sex and those that came from external consultation and of the urban area. He/she was resistance of Enterococo in 57.38%, 45.95% and 36.07% for Cefalexina, Ciprofloxacino and Doxiciclina respectively. Conclusions: The enterococo continues being frequent cause of Infection of the Tract Urinal. He/she was an increment in the percentages of resistance of the Enterococo for the antibiotics more commonly employees. It will be evaluated other therapeutic options in these cases Key words: Enterococcus, antibiotic sensibility, Infection of the Tract Urinal, urocultivo, antibiotic resistance, Health descriptors, MeSH: Enterococcus, microbial sensitivity test, urologic diseases, cultivation techniques, microbial drug resistance.
