Resumen
PEREZ-ARDILA, María Alejandra et al. Resistance Profile of Salmonella SP During a Period of Three Years in a Hospital of Colombia. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.108-118. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.8768.
Objective:
In Colombia, from 2000 to 2012, a progressive increase in resistance to beta-lactams and quinolones was described in isolates of Salmonella As of this date, the evolution of resistance rates in the country is unknown. The objective of this study is to describe the susceptibility profile from 2014 to 2017, as well as to evaluate the association between the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of the population with the resistance patterns of Salmonella Materials and methods: The study is a cross-sectional study between 2014 and 2017 at the Fundación Cardioinfantil, in patients over 18 years of age with Salmonella in any type of biologic sample.
Results:
The authors found 60 cases, no isolate was resistant to quinolones. One showed resistant to ampicillin, and añother one was characterized as amp-C; 95% had a usual susceptibility profile. No association was found between the variables studied and the presence of resistance.
Conclusion:
The results may reflect a change in the susceptibility profile of Salmonella in Colombia, with a decrease in resistance to beta-lactams and quinolones as of 2014; however, a larger population sample is required to corroborate this hypothesis.
