SANCHEZ MERINO, J.M. et al. Antimicrobial susceptibility of escherichia coli isolated from bacteriurias in Bierzo health area during 2003. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2004, vol.28, n.8, pp.588-593. ISSN 0210-4806.
OBJECTIVE: Sensitivity to antibiotics of Escherichia coli isolated from intrahospital and extrahospital bacteriurias is analized. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sensitivity to nineteen antibiotics used in the clinical practise was determined in strains of Escherichia coli isolated from intrahospital and extrahospital bacteriurias. RESULTS: The prevalence of in-vitro susceptibilities to antibiotics were (hospital, state health service clinic, health center-primary-care): imipenem (100%-100%-100%; p=NS), amikacin (100%-100%-99.7%; p=NS), fosfomicyn (98.6%- 98.4%-99.6%; p=NS), cefepime (96%-96.9%-98.3%; p=NS), piperacillin-tazobactam (96%-95.3%-96.6%; p=NS), aztreonam (93.5%-94.7%-97.7%; p<0.001), ceftazidime (93.5%-94.3%-97.8%; p<0.001), cefotaxime (93.1%-95%-97.7%; p<0.001), cefixime (92.7%-94.6%-96.7%; p<0.05), nitrofurantoin (92%-94.7%-94.7%; p=NS), cefuroxime (88.4%-93.1%- 95%; p<0.001), amoxicillin-clavulanic (87.7%-88.7%-93.8%; p<0.001), tobramicyn (87%-93.7%-93.8%; p<0.001), gentamcin (85.9%-92.8%-93%; p<0.001), cefazolin (84.4%-88.7%-91.6%; p<0.01), ciprofloxacin (63.8%-71.4%-78.4%; p<0.001), norfloxacin (63%-70.8%-78.2%; p<0.001), cotrimoxazole (65.2%-68.6%-74.9%; p<0.01) and ampicillin (35.5%-42.5%-47.8%; p<0.01). (*NS= No significant differences). CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge of the sensitivity of uropathogens to antimicrobians can allow us to initiate empirical therapy of urinary tract infections.
