Tuberculosis is a public health problem in the world and Peru, aggravated by multidrug (MDR-TB) and extensively resistant (XDR-TB) forms. The objetives were to describe the resistance to tuberculosis drugs and risk factors to acquire MDR-TB in a marginal urban hospital of Lima, since 2006 to 2008. It is a reported cases studyand was undertaken in Huaycán Hospital. The data collected were acquired from the routine reports of the National Control Program and clinical history. A total of 61 cases of MDR-TB, one of XDR-TB and 7 cases of mono resistant tuberculosis were evaluated; 38 were men (55%) and 31 women (45%). The more affected age group were 15 to 34 years with 55 cases (79,6%). The more frecuent risk factors founded to acquire MDR-TB were: suspicion of failure (FS1, 34 cases, 49%) and failure of treatment one scheme (F1, 14 cases, 20%), and to have had contact with MDR-TB patients ...

We are analyzed forty samples of raw milk commercialized at the Callao Market between January and March 2009 using presumptive method for β-lactamics and tetracycline antibiotic residues from IDEX laboratories, to comply with the limits of sensitivity of residues of the FDA. We found 40% of samples tested positive for β-lactamic residues in raw milk. There were no positive outcame to analyze tetracyclines. The results suggest that we should establish policies for legislation, regulation and training and that the NTP 202.001.2003 should be reviewed. The results suggested that should be established policies for legislation, regulation and training, and the NTP 202. 00102003 should be reviewed.

It is a of drugs utilization, descriptive, transversal, observational, multicentric study that follows a transversal design, prescription type -indication- with the aim to determine the prevalence use of reserve antimicrobials in hospitalized patients, of all age groups, men and women in services of internal medicine. We applied two sheets of data collection: ATMR-S (for services) and ATMR-P (for patients) to obtain prevalence of reserve antimicrobials (ATMR) and the ATMR prescribed. The sheets were implemented on August 21, 2006 to 845 patients thatwerc hospitalized that day. Wereport an overall prevalence of ATMR prescribing by hospitals is 28%, with extreme values rangingfrom 18% to 38%; theprevalence of use by services is 32.3% with values ranging from 16.4% in obstetrics-gynecology, and 57.1 % in the intensive care unit. ATMR are the most prescribed according to hospital are vancomy...
