ABSTRACT
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the third leading cause of morbidity from infections, diagnosis and appropriate treatment involves the determination of the pathogen and antimicrobial sensitivity or resistance. The empirical treatment of patients with extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) bacteria lead the progression of the disease by an ineffective treatment.Objective: To identify the frequency of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance patterns of microorganisms isolated from patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection, hospitalized at Internal Medicine Service of Nuevo Sanatorio Durango, Mexico City.
Material and method: A prospective, observational, single-center cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. They were selected hospitalized patients with UTI in the internal medicine service of Nuevo Sanatorio Durango, Mexico City. Microorganisms were isolated from the urine of patients by culture, strains were typed by biochemical tests and susceptibility testing and resistance were performed.
Results: In patients with urinary symptoms (n=78) urine culture was performed and in 46, bacterial isolates were obtained. Escherichia coli was identified in 91.5% and within this group 38.3% showed positive ESBL features. The greatest resistance was against ampicillin-sulbactam, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone and TMP/SMZ.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high incidence of beta-lactamase- producing organisms in UTI patients hospitalized in the internal medicine at New Hospital in Durango, Mexico. This study will improve clinical guide empirical therapy in patients with urinary tract infections.
