Perfil microbiológico de muestras obtenidas de neonatos del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, Ecuador
Abstract
Objective: To determine the microbiological profile of biological samples of neonates from Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, Ecuador. Materials and Methods: An observational, retrospective, and descriptive study was carried out in patients of the neonatology service who underwent some microbiological analysis in the aforementioned hospital during 2015; the clinical data were obtained of the medical records department. Results: Of the 343 microbiological reports, 32.4% (n=111) were rectal swabs, 22.7% (n=78) were blood cultures, and 14.3% (n=49) catheter tip culture. The main isolated microorganisms were Klebsiella pneumoniae (26.5%; n=91), Escherichia coli (20.7%; n=71), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (15.2%; n=52). Ampicillin (9.5%), trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (7.2%), and cefazolin (6.4%) were the antibiotics that most commonly showed resistance. Conclusion: The microbiological samples from neonatal patients from the Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso in Ecuador were mainly rectal swabs, with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the main isolated microorganism and with high resistance to ampicillin.
