Información del artículo
The present article is an update of the literature on bacterial pathogens. Recognizing the interest and scientific and public health importance of infections produced by bacterial pathogens with new virulence mechanisms and/or new mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial agents, a multidisciplinary group of Spanish physicians and microbiologists organized a joint session and revised the most important papers produced in the field during 2006. Each article was analyzed and discussed by one of the members of the panel. This paper focus on a variety of diseases that pose major clinical and public health challenges today; and include infections produced by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus small colony variants, infections produced by multiply resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, pneumococcal infections, human listeriosis, meningococcal disease, Haemophilus influenzae, pertussis, Escherichia coli, ESBL-producing organisms, and infections due to non-fermenters. After a review of the state of the art, papers selected in this field are discussed.

El presente artículo recoge una actualización bibliográfica de patógenos bacterianos. Dado el interés científico y la importancia que tienen para la salud pública las infecciones producidas por patógenos bacterianos con nuevos mecanismos de virulencia y/o nuevos mecanismos de resistencia a los antimicrobianos, un grupo multidisciplinario de microbiólogos y clínicos españoles, con experiencia en enfermedades infecciosas, organizó una reunión en la que se revisaron los artículos más importantes en este campo, publicados en 2006.
El contenido de cada uno de los artículos seleccionados fue expuesto y discutido por uno de los miembros del grupo. Este artículo revisa algunas de las enfermedades infecciosas bacterianas que suponen hoy en día algunos de los principales retos para la salud pública e incluye las infecciones producidas por Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina de adquisición comunitaria, las producidas por variantes de colonia pequeña de S. aureus, las relacionadas con estafilococos coagulasa negativa multirresistentes, la infección neumocócica, la listeriosis humana, la infección meningocócica, la tos ferina, las infecciones por Haemophilus influenzae, la diseminación de las bacterias productoras de BLEE, y las infecciones por bacilos gramnegativos no fermentadores. Tras la revisión de la situación actual, se discuten y comentan diferentes artículos relacionados con estos aspectos.
