Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii es un microrganismo oportunista, que ha adquirido gran importancia en los últimos años por su capacidad de provocar infecciones graves, entre ellas enfermedades multirresistentes, en pacientes de cuidados intensivos. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la frecuencia y susceptibilidad antibiótica de Acinetobacter baumannii de pacientes con Covid-19 de la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos en el Hospital Regional Virgen de Fátima, Chachapoyas, Perú, Enero-Julio, 2022. El tipo de investigación fue descriptiva, para determinar la frecuencia se tomaron datos de 50 pacientes ingresados al área UCI con diagnóstico de Covid-19, todos con ventilación mecánica durante los meses de enero a julio del 2022. Se encontró a 42 (84%) pacientes con infección por A. baumannii. De los 42 casos positivos el mayor porcentaje fue del sexo masculino de 71%; el 12% (5) tienen entre 22 a 43 años, seguido de un 52% (22) que tienen entre 44 a 64 años y un 36% (15) tienen 65 años a más. La susceptibilidad bacteriana para A. baumannii fue de 100% resistente a la familia de cefalosporinas (ceftazidima, cefotaxima), carbapenémicos (meropenem, imipenem) y aztreonam; la cual indica que es productora de carbapenemasas.
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic microorganism that has acquired great importance in recent years due to its ability to cause serious infections, including multidrug-resistant diseases, in intensive care patients. The objective of the research was to determine the Frequency and antibiotic susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii of patients with Covid-19 from the Intensive Care Unit at the Virgen de Fatima Regional Hospital, Chachapoyas, Peru, January-July, 2022. The type of research was Descriptive, to determine the frequency, data were taken from 50 patients admitted to the ICU area with a diagnosis of Covid-19, all with mechanical ventilation during the months of January to July 2022. 42 (84%) patients were found with A. baumannii. Of the 42 positive cases, the highest percentage was male, 71%; 12% (5) are between 22 and 43 years old, followed by 52% (22) who are between 44 and 64 years old and 36% (15) are 65 years old or older. Bacterial susceptibility for A. baumannii was 100% resistant to the cephalosporin family (ceftazidime, cefotaxime), carbapenems (meropenem, imipenem) and aztreonam; which indicates that it is a producer of carbapenemases.
