ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A descriptive, retrospective observational study was carried out related to the resistance to the antimicrobial tested, from isolated bacteria of intrahospitable cases sepsis in closed services from the provincial hospital “Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola” of Ciego de Avila city. The universe and study sample consisted of 288 microbiological studies carried out in different services between January 2009 and January 2010. The antimicrobial resistance patterns were determined in various departments to analyze which of the tested antibiotics had higher rates of resistance. It was known which were the main biological agents implicated in nosocomial sepsis in services. There were high levels of resistance to cefazolin and ampicillin, and begins to observe a discrete incidence of resistance of some strains of staphylococci to vancomycin. A total of 288 strains were isolated. Giving as a result that the most isolated organism was coagulase-negative Staphylococcus with 78 isolates, followed by Escherichia coli with 56, and later Staphylococcus aureus with 37 isolates obtained.
