Perfil de susceptibilidad de enterobacterias causantes de infección del tracto urinario en gestantes que acudieron al Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, 2019. Cuenca 2021

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a process of proliferation of microorganisms, usually bacteria that invade sterile areas of the urinary system, constitutes the second most frequent pathology developed during the gestation period, being able to trigger several complications for both the mother and the fetus. Its diagnosis is made from: Elemental and Microscopic Examination of Urine, uroculture and antibiogram. GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To determine the susceptibility profile of enterobacteria that cause urinary tract infection in pregnant women who were attended at the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital, 2019. METHODOLOGY: The present study was descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional, the universe was made up of all the reports of urocultures carried out in pregnant who were attended at the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital during 2019 and the sample was propositive. The information was obtained by using the collection form which was tabulated and analyzed using MICROSOFT EXCEL 2013 and SPSS software. RESULTS: According to reports, during 2019 a total of 42 pregnant with a positive urine culture for enterobacteria were registered, being the most important: Escherichia coli 76.20% followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae 11.90%. Of the total isolated enterobacteria, 9.52% registered resistance mediated by enzymes such as ESBL, manifesting itself mainly in Escherichia coli with 7.14% of the reports. CONCLUSIONS: UTIS were frequent in pregnant between the ages of 19 and 25, predominantly during the third trimester of pregnancy. The most prevalenting enterobacteria was Escherichia coli and the ESBL-type resistance mechanism was found.
