ABSTRACT

Introduction: Antibiotic resistance in hospitals is a fact reported in Cuba as well as in the rest of the world, but health professionals do not always have a clear comprehension of this phenomenon and the roll that it has on the correct used of them. Objectives: To lower drug-resistance in bacterial agents causing hospital infections, by means a correct policy and consequently to improve the quality of the services and the use of resources. Methods: 919 bacterial samples were studied taken from clinical cases from health institutions in Havana City during 2003, which later characterized according to standardized diagnostic sketches designed for our environment. The Bauer-Kirby Method was used to in vitro resistance test. Results: In Staphylococcus spp., the higher percentages corresponded to negative coagulasa; in Enterobacterium, the higher figures corresponded to Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae; and in B.N.F., they fell on Pseudomonas aeruginosa in front of Penicillins and cefems. The higher percentages of correlation in the antibiotype found fell on in Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas spp. It is necessary the surveillance in the correct use of antibiotics agents in order to diminish the levels of bacterial resistance.
