Determinación de los antimicrobianos de mayor resistencia ante las bacterias Klebsiella pneumoniae y Escherichia coli en infecciones del tracto urinario en la población adulta latinoamericana, mediante una revisión bibliográfica

Abstract

Antimicrobials are drugs that play a fundamental role due to their capacity to control microbial infections, since they are one of the main causes of death worldwide. The present study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance generated by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in the Latin American adult population with urinary tract infections (UTI), through a literature review based on the Prisma statement. For this purpose, scientific articles were collected from various databases such as; PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and Scielo, published in the last 5 years in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Different antibiotics to which Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae presented antimicrobial resistance were identified, including Cephalothin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin. Similarly, on the same basis, the antibiotics to which these uropathogens showed sensitivity were identified, mentioning Amikacin, Imipenem, Ceftriaxone and Ertapenem. By means of this bibliographic review, it is expected to promote the development of future studies oriented to face microbial resistance with new pharmacological and treatment strategies at local and national level.
