ABSTRACT

Background. The bacteriological analysis of genital secretion helps isolate and identify the microorganisms responsible for infection in the vaginal canal. The objective of this research was to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from clinical cases of vaginal infection.
Materials and Methods. Consecutive sampling of 388 clinical cases of patients with vaginal infection who attended the bacteriology service was carried out. Fresh analysis, Gram stain was performed and they were seeded in specific culture media, as well as the Mueller-Hilton for sensitivity.
Results. C. albicans was identified in 6% of samples, C. glabrata in 2%, C. lucitaniae 1% and C. tropicalis 1%; S. aureus 6%, S. epidermidis 5% and S. haemolyticus 3%; Enterococcus faecalis 6%; Escherichia coli 25%; Klebsiella pneumoniae 5% and in 36% of the samples other microorganisms were isolated. Isolates of C. albicans, C. glabrata and C. lucitaniae had a 100% caspofungin sensitivity. S. aureus was sensitive to gentamicin, levofloxacin, linezolid, moxifloxacin, nitrofurantoin, oxacicline, quinuspristine, rifampin, tigecycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and vancomycin in 100%. S. epidermidis and S. haemolyticus were 100% sensitive to linezolid, nitrofurantoin, quinuspristine, rifampicin, tigecycline. Enterococcus feacalis was 100% sensitive to linezolid. E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 100% sensitive to ertapenem and meropenem.
Conclusions. The genera Staphylococcus, Candida and E. coli were the most common isolates.
