Evaluación de la Resistencia a la Ampicilina, Clindamicina y Meropenem en Escherichia Coli Presente en Vertimientos Provenientes del Hospital De Suba II Nivel E.S.E en la Ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The present study evaluates the microbial resistance of Escherichia coli to three commonly used antibiotics, Ampicillin, Clindamycin and Meropenem in residual water from Hospital of Suba II level E.S.E; To carry out this project a sample design was elaborated with which it was possible to carry out the experimental design that allowed to evaluate the differences in the resistance of Escherichia coli to the 3 different antibiotics, with the obtained sample size 40 strains of Escherichia coli In two different phases of the treatment plant, untreated waste water and treated wastewater, in addition to this analysis variables were included to evaluate resistance variation as day of sampling, maintenance of the WWTP and time of sampling, the method used For the determination of microbial resistance is "Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test protocol", with the help of Whonet an easy-to-handle software performs the analysis of results including statistical programs; Of strains isolated to evaluate microbial resistance to Ampicillin 83.5% of the strains were resistant, 2% intermediate and 14.5% were sensitive, for Clindamycin 74.5% of the strains were resistant, the 8% was intermediate and 17.5% was sensitive; for Meropenem 30% was resistant, 9.5% was intermediate and 60.5% sensitive.
