ABSTRACT

Objective: To know which are the most frequent microorganisms isolated by the clinical importance cultives in patients from Hospital para el Niño, IMIEM, in the period of time involved from October 2007 to September 2008, as well as know the fact of susceptibility and resistance to the drugs. Material and methods: It is a retrospective, observational and transversal study. The registered notes from the microbiology laboratory of Hospital para el Niño were revised during the period of time mentioned before. For each kind and species of microbians agents identified, it was realized its sensibility for the methods used by the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory from Hospital para el Niño, recommended by the NCCLS. The results were described by the central tendency measures, run in the SPSS version 15 program. Results: From the 1,547 total hemocultives, there were 287 positive reported (18.5%); the most frequent microorganisms were Staphylococcus coagulase negative 56.4%, Candida sp 10.5%, Staphylococcus aureus 10.1%. From the 1,418 total urocultives, there were 135 (9.5%) positive reported; the most frequent microorganisms were Escherichia coli 54.1%, Candida sp 11.9%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 5.2%. From a total of 261 cultives of peritoneal liquids were 18% (47) positives, being the most frequent microorganisms Staphylococcus coagulase negative 31.9%, Staphylococcus aureus 14.9%, Escherichia coli 10.6%. Conclusions: The Gram positive cocci predominate over the Gram negative microorganism in hemocultives. Escherichia coli is the most frequently microorganism isolated from urocultives. Candida sp is a microorganism that is considerably presented in both types of sample. We should made clinical guides of treatment according our discoveries.
