ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Extraintestinal Escherichia coli is one of the main pathogens causing infections associated to health care, with a high impact on health, due to its morbidity and mortality.
Objective:
Describe the clinical behavior of extraintestinal E. coli in Cuban hospitals, and determine antimicrobial resistance and betalactamase production.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Microbiology National Reference Laboratory of Pedro Kourí Tropical Medicine Institute from May 2017 to June 2018. The study included 119 Escherichia coli isolates causing extraintestinal infections in 30 hospitals from various geographic areas in the country. Identification was based on the API 20E system, and determination of in vitro susceptibility to 16 antimicrobials on the automated system VITEK-2 and the disk diffusion method, except for colistin, for which the disk elution method was used. Phenotypical detection was also performed of AmpC extended-spectrum betalactamase and metallobetalactamase.
Results:
The most common disorders caused by extraintestinal E. coli were surgical wound infection (23.5%), bloodstream infection (20.7%), respiratory infections (17.6%), skin infections (16.8%) and urinary tract infection (12.6%). A predominance was found of resistance to betalactams, which ranged between 61.3% y 89.1%, whereas 79.8% and 80.5% of the isolates were resistant to trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline, respectively. Amikacin, fosfomycin, colistin and carbapenemics displayed greater in vitro activity. 43.7% produced extended spectrum betalactamases, 7.6% plasmid AmpC and 0.8% metallobetalactamase.
Conclusions:
The low sensitivity of extraintestinal E. coli isolates to first-line antimicrobials and the detection of a metallobetalactamase producing isolate are evidence of the need to maintain continuous surveillance of this pathogen, for which the treatment options are ever more restricted.
