[Etiological profile and antimicrobial sensitivity in 1740 urinary infections of the community in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.].

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (Uti) are one of the most common infections that affec thumans throughout their lives and are a common healthproblem both at the community and at the nosocomial level. Knowing microbiological characteristics, sensitivity profile and risk factors allow to optimize the management of Utis minimizing the increase of antibiotic resistance (AR) and establishing early treatments to reduce the morbidity and severity of infection. This study aims to establish which microorganisms are responsible for urinary tract infections in our community and determine their AR.

Community-acquired bacteremia in adult patients. analysis of 645 episodes.

Bacteremia is an important cause of morbimortality. This study describes the episodes of communityacquired bacteremia in adult patients registered at our hospital. Between January 2005 and December 2013, 645 episodes were studied.

[Pneumonia caused byCorynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum].

Microorganisms of the genera Corynebacterium, specie pseudodiphtheriticum are a part of the indigenous microbiota of human skin and oropharinx. Nevertheless in recent decades these bacilli are emerging as opportunistic pathogens causing clinically significant infections in patients with previous compromise. We report the case of a 76 years old female patient, with a history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, type 2 diabetes and chronic renal failure, who presented pneumonia during their stay at the intensive care unit.

[Analysis of 117 episodes of enterococcal bacteremia: Study of epidemiology, microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibility].

Enterococcal bacteremia has acquired considerable importance in recent years, mainly due to an increased number of cases that occur during hospital admission. We describe the episodes of enterococcal bacteremia in adult patients recorded at our hospital. Between January 2000 and December 2013, 117 episodes were analyzed.
