Staphylococcus aureus, sensitivity, resistance, ecthymaAbstract
Skin infections caused by microorganisms affect the skin and tissues directly, where they proliferate and cause serious alterations. These infections constitute a public health problem, since many microorganisms show resistance to common and uncommon antimicrobials, which directly affects the application of the appropriate treatment to the patient. This study aimed to identify the most frequent microorganisms in skin infections, their sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics in patients with infection who attended the General Provincial Hospital "Ambato" in the period from May 2017 to June 2018. The methodology used in this research is based on a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a qualitative-quantitative approach, using the documentary technique and the reporting of results as an instrument. The information was tabulated and analyzed using the Microsoft Office 2010. It was found that in 29% of the processed samples Staphylococcus aureus was isolated as the most frequent in this type of infections, with greater sensitivity to Clindamycin, Doxacillin and Linezolid (100%) and resistance to Penicillins and Oxacillin (47.82%). It is important to mention that 47.83% of the isolated S. aureus strains phenotypically expressed the mecA gene. The most frequent clinical entity associated with this type of infection was ecthyma with 55%. In conclusion, the resistance of strains to various antibiotics was verified, presenting the most relevant as resistant methicillin, resistant vancomycin and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases.
