- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Infections caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) enterobacteriaceae have increased recently, carbapenems are the treatment of choice, but there is evidence of resistance in nosocomial bacterias associated with their abuse. Response to quinolones is reported, in vitro sensitivity has been found; nevertheless, there are records of resistance related with the previous administration of quinolones. OBJECTIVES: To determine the quinolone resistance in ESBL enterobacteriaceae documented in blood and urine isolates at Hospital Central Norte, PEMEX, in 2014, as well as to analyze the correlation with previous administration of quinolones. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective, observational, descriptive and analytical study was made. Statistical analysis was done with Pearson correlation coefficient and ordinary least squares regression. RESULTS: 395 isolates with ESBL enterobacteria were included with quinolone resistance of 89% in urine and 90% in blood. Correlation with previous administration of quinolones in blood isolates was of 0.964 and in urine isolates was of 0.940. There is a positive causality between events of 80% in blood isolates and 85% in urine isolates. CONCLUSIONS: We found quinolone resistance in ESBL enterobacteriaceae and statistically significant correlation with the previous administration of quinolones. To reduce this resistance we should make emphasis in antimicrobial-de-escalation based on isolates and education for proper management of quinolones in primary care physicians.
