[Bacterial resistance, a current crisis.].

Bacterial resistance is a constant battle representing a Public Health trouble. So much, that the World Health Organization considerate Public Health as a priority in health, due to the impact that generates as much as in health (giving that recent projections indicate that by 2050 it'll be produced more deaths because of this than the ones occasioned because of cancer) as its economic impact (which, according to a recent study in the United Kingdom, it'll cost the world's economy an estimated of 100 trillion dollars). The quick appearance of multidrug-resistant and pandrug-resistant bacteria is a world nature phenomenon, questioning the antibiotics efficiency.

Multirresistencia, resistencia extendida y panresistencia a antibacterianos en el norte de México.

Objetivo: Describir el perfil de multirresistencia (MDR), resistencia extendida (XDR) y panresistencia (PDR) a antibacterianos en aislados de muestras de pacientes de un hospital privado de tercer nivel en el norte de México.

MÉtodo: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo durante el periodo comprendido de febrero de 2016 a abril de 2019. A partir de 156 muestras clínicas de orina, heridas, sangre, expectoración y otros fluidos se aislaron 166 bacterias; 10 de las muestras incluyeron dos microorganismos.
