Abstract   Microbiological mapping is a tool and base for good antibiotic management. It guides the empirical treatments in the hospital services as well as in the updating of care protocols. Objective: To determine the situation of the microbiological mapping of urine cultures in referential hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of urine cultures of the different hospital services from the first semester of 2013 to 2015 was carried out. The situation was defined as the determination of the microbiological profile and the most frequent pathogens isolated. The percentage of resistance by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) for 3 consecutive years was determined. The data were collected and added to a database coded in double back up. Results: The most frequently isolated pathogens were E. coli (56.60%), K. pneumoniae (10.12%) and P. mirabilis (4.22%). The frequen...

El mapeo microbiológico es una herramienta y pilar para un buen manejo de antibióticos; es una guía los tratamientos empíricos en los servicios hospitalarios así como en la actualización de protocolos de atención. En el presente estudio se determina la situación actual del mapeo microbiológico de urocultivos en el Hospital Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo trasversal de urocultivos de los diferentes servicios del hospital desde el primer semestre del 2013 al 2015. La situación fue definida como la determinación de patógenos más frecuentes y porcentaje de resistencia por Betalactamasa de espectro extendido (BLEE) durante 3 años consecutivos más el perfil microbiológico del Servicio de Urología de la institución. Los datos fueron recolectados y agregados a una base de datos codificada en doble back up. El agente aislado con mayor frecuencia fue...
