Urinary tract infections (UTIs) belong to the group of infectious pathologies with the highest occurrence in different age groups, frequently implicated in health care-associated infections. UTIs caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing microorganisms have become more important in recent years, due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality. One of the greatest threats to public health worldwide is the increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics, for which the treatment of UTI is considered an increasing challenge. It is necessary in our country to carry out studies to know the hospital reality about the clinical and epidemiological factors of UTIs, mainly those infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, in this way to generate awareness among health personnel and the general population about the risks of developing this disease. Objective: ...

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance increases hospital mortality and is a public health problem. Objective: to determine the characteristics of microorganisms isolated from hospitalized patients and to detail antimicrobial sensitivity profiles. Methodology: cross-sectional study Cross-sectional study in a hospital in the Peruvian jungle during 2021. The type of microorganism, antimicrobial sensitivity (VITEK ® 2 bioMérieux), source of isolation, patient age and hospitalization service were identified. Results: 477 positive cultures were included in 453 patients. The samples came from bronchial secretion 54.9%, blood 35.2%, urine 6.5% and others 3.4%. The hospital services of origin were emergency 49.9%, intensive care unit 40.0%, medicine 9.6% and surgery 0.5%. Gram negative bacteria (74.6%), Gram positive bacteria (16.4%) and fungi (9%) were isolated. The most frequently isolated m...
