WILSON KRUGG, Juan HéctorREÁTEGUI CHAMOLY, Filber6/5/2019 96/5/2019 92019https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14414/12654The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and antimicrobial sensitivity of bacteria causing ITU in pregnant women attended at the Huanchaco Health Center during August - November 2018, where 271 urine samples were analyzed and 38 positive samples (14.0%) and 233 samples were reported. negative (86.0%). Of which it was found that the uropathogens causing ITU were gram-negative (94.7%) and gram-positive (5.3%) bacteria. Of the positive samples, 27 strains of Escherichia coli equivalent to 71.0% were isolated, 04 strains of Proteus mirabilis equivalent to 10.5%, 03 strains of Klebsiella sp equivalent to 7.9%, 02 strains of Enterobacter sp equivalent to 5.3% and Staphylococcus sp with 02 strains equivalent to (5.3%). Regarding the antimicrobial sensitivity of the isolated strains, it was found that cefoperazone sulbactam together with cefoxitin had greater sensitivity (76.3%), followed by cefepime and ceftriaxone (65.8%), and having greater resistance to nalidixic acid (60.5%). Subsequently, the antimicrobial sensitivity of each of the isolated uropathogens was reported, with similar results mentioned aboveEl objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia y sensibilidad antimicrobiana de bacterias causantes de ITU en gestantes atendidas en el Centro de Salud Huanchaco durante agosto – noviembre 2018, donde se analizaron 271 muestras de orina reportándose 38 muestras positivos (14.0 %) y 233 muestras negativos (86.0 %). De los cuales se encontró que los uropatógenos causante de ITU fueron bacterias gramnegativas (94.7 %) y grampositivas (5.3 %). De las muestras positivos se aisló 27 cepas de Escherichia coli equivalente al 71.0 %, 04 cepas de Proteus mirabilis equivalente a 10.5 %, 03 cepas de Klebsiella sp equivalente al 7.9 %, 02 cepas de Enterobacter sp equivalente al 5.3 % y Staphylococcus sp con 02 cepas equivalente al (5.3 %). En cuanto a la sensibilidad antimicrobiana de las cepas aisladas se evidenció que cefoperazona sulbactam conjuntamente con cefoxitina tuvieron mayor sensibilidad (76.3%), seguido de cefepime y ceftriaxona (65.8 %), y teniendo con mayor resistencia al ácido nalidixico (60.5 %). Posteriormente se realizó la sensibilidad antimicrobiana de cada uno de los uropatógens aislados reportándose resultados similares antes mencionados.spainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessITU en gestantesensibilidad antimicrobianauropatógenosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/other
