Fundamentos

Evaluación del medio cromogénico MPO® frente al medio CLED (cisteína, lactosa, deficiente en electrolitos) respecto a su utilidad en la detección, enumeración e identificación de patógenos del tracto urinario.

Métodos

Se han estudiado 1.080 muestras de orina a las que se les efectuó urocultivo en MPO® y CLED empleando el método del asa calibrada.

Resultados

A partir de 145 muestras de orina positivas se aislaron 171 cepas bacterianas (Escherichia coli, 111; Enterococcus spp., 26; Proteus spp., 12; Enterobacteriaceae del grupo Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia, 10; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5; Streptococcus agalactiae, 4; Staphylococcus spp., 3, y Candida albicans, 4. Los resultados de los recuentos y los tipos de microorganismos aislados fueron análogos en ambos medios, aunque en 6 casos la presencia de Enterococcus spp. sólo se detectó en el medio cromogénico.

Conclusiones

El medio MPO® para la realización del urocultivo ofrece resultados análogos al CLED y su utilización lleva a una importante disminución de la carga de trabajo asociada a la realización de esta técnica. Este ahorro de trabajo se debe a que en la mayoría de los casos es posible obviar la realización de pruebas complementarias para la identificación de los microorganismos aislados a partir de muestras de orina.

Background

The chromogenic culture medium, MPO®, was compared to culture on CLED (cystein, lactose, electrolyte-deficient) agar for the detection, enumeration and identification of urinary tract pathogens.

Methods

A total of 1,080 clinical urine specimens were assessed. All samples were inoculated in MPO® and CLED using the calibrated loop method.

Results

Among 145 positive urine samples, 171 strains of bacteria were isolated (111 Escherichia coli, 26 Enterococcus spp., 12 Proteus spp., 10 Enterobacteriaceae from the Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia group, 5 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 4 Streptococcus agalactiae, 3 Staphylococcus spp. and 4 Candida albicans. For all samples, enumeration of microorganisms was comparable with the two media studied. Identification was also similar, except for 6 cases in which Enterococcus spp. were only detected with the chromogenic medium.

Conclusions

Overall urine culture results with MPO® chromogenic medium were similar to those obtained with CLED, making it a feasible alternative to the standard medium. Moreover, use of a chromogenic technique implies a significant reduction in workload, since additional tests to identify the microorganisms isolated are not needed in most cases.
