[Molecular characterization of virulence (lmb, bca and rib) and macrolid resistance genes (ermB, ermTR and mefA) in clinical isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae].

The aim of the study was to molecularly identify virulence and macrolide resistance genes in clinical isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS), recovered in 2019 from vaginal discharge (n=9) and urine (n=22), from two health facilities in Lima. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility were determined by the Vitek® 2 automated system, identification was confirmed phenotypically; macrolide resistance was determined by the D-test method. Identification of virulence genes (lmb, bca and rib) and macrolide resistance genes (ermB, ermTR and mefA) was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Comparison of Escherichia coli antibiotic-resistance profiles and incidence of betalactamase phenotypes in three private health facilities in Perú.

Introduction: The appearance of multidrug-resistant and beta-lactamase producing enterobacteria in outpatient care facilities represent a public health problem in Perú. Objective: To compare the resistance profiles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli and to identify extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing phenotypes in three private health facilities located in the Peruvian coast, Andean and jungle regions. Materials and methods: We conducted a descriptive study on 98 urine samples from Lima (coast), Juliaca (Andean region) and Iquitos (jungle region) during 2016.

Surgical Site Infections Rates in More Than 13,000 Surgical Procedures in Three Cities in Peru: Findings of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a threat to patient safety. However, there are not available data on SSI rates stratified by surgical procedure (SP) in Peru.

Methods: From January 2005 to December 2010, a cohort prospective surveillance study on SSIs was conducted by the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) in four hospitals in three cities of Peru.

[Metalo-ß-lactamases in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Lima, Peru].

The aim of this study was to detect and characterize molecularly metallo-ß-lactamase (MßL) in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We carry out a cross sectional study in six publics hospital in Lima on August 2011. 51 isolates of P.
