Fundamentos

Evaluar los patrones de sensibilidad de los aislamientos de Escherichia coli obtenidos a partir de muestras de orina de enfermos con infección del tracto urinario inferior adquirida en la comunidad, resaltando el papel de la fosfomicina trometamol en el tratamiento de la misma

Métodos

Se revisó de manera retrospectiva la sensibilidad de 16.227 aislamientos de E. coli, procedentes de urocultivos realizados en el Laboratorio de Microbiología del Área 11 de Madrid entre los años 1997-2000, a ampicilina, amoxicilina-clavulánico, cefalotina, cefuroxima, trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol, fosfomicina trometamol, nitrofurantoína y ciprofloxacino. Se determinó la sensibilidad por el sistema de microdilución automático Vitek (bioMèrieux, France)

Resultados

E. coli representó el 80,1% del total de uropatógenos aislados. La sensibilidad a ampicilina, amoxicilina-clavulánico, cefalotina, cefuroxima, trimetoprim–sulfametoxazol, nitrofurantoína y ciprofloxacino fue del 42,25%,81,5%,58,75%, 87,5%,70%,94,75% y 84,75%, respectivamente. Fosfomicina trometamol fue el antibiótico que presentó mayor actividad frente a E. coli, siendo el 95,5% de los aislamientos sensibles

Conclusiones

Fosfomicina trometamol (dosis única) es una buena alternativa que debe considerarse en el tratamiento de infecciones del tracto urinario inferior no complicadas

Objectives

To evaluate the sensitivity patterns of Escherichia coli isolates obtained from urine specimens from patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections, with a special emphasis on fosfomycin trometamol for the treatment of UTI

Methods

Retrospective analysis of the sensitivity pattern of 16,227 E. coli isolates recovered from urine cultures performed at the Microbiology Laboratory of Madrid Area 11 from 1997 to 2000. The antimicrobial agents tested included ampicillin, amoxycillin-clavulanate, cephalotin, cefuroxime, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazol, fosfomycin trometamol, nitrofurantoin, and ciprofloxacin. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed with the Vitek automatic microdilution system (bioMèrieux, France)

Results

E. coli represented 80.1% of all uropathogens recovered. The percentages of sensitive strains to ampicillin, amoxycillin-clavulanate, cephalotin, cefuroxime, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazol, nitrofurantoin, and ciprofloxacin were 42.25%, 81.5%, 58.75%, 87.5%, 70%, 94.75%, and 84.75%, respectively. Fosfomycin trometamol was the antibiotic with the highest activity against E. coli, with 95.5% of sensitive isolates

Conclusions

Fosfomycin trometamol (single dose) is a good alternative that should be considered for the treatment of non-complicated lower urinary tract infections
