Microrganismos prevalentes em infecções do trato urinário e perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana: análise dos pacientes atendidos no Hospital do Policial Militar do Estado de Goiás, Brasil, no período de 1998 a 2008

Resumo (EN)

Objective – To evaluate the frequency of the bacterial agents responsible for urinary tract infections and the antimicrobial sensitivity profile of the uropathogens involved in these infectious processes. Methods – A survey was conducted of the data with reference to uroculture exams of patients attended at the Military Police Hospital of the State of Goias, Brazil, in the period from January, 1998 to December, 2008, in which it was verified that of the 10,162 urine samples, 1,506 (14.82%) were positives, while 8,656 (85.18%) presented no growth of microorganisms. Results – According to the results, it was verified that the female sex was the most affected (79.4%). The most frequent Gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli (63.08%) and Enterobacter sp. (6.31%) and the Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus saprophyticus (4.52%) and Staphylococcus aureus (3.19%). Conclusion – With regard to bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, it was noted that Escherichia coli and Enterobacter sp. presented a higher sensitivity index in decreasing order to Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin and Ceftriaxon.
