[Clinical and microbiological characteristics of bloodstream infections in adult neutropenic patients].

Bloodstream infections (BI) are relevant in neutropenic patients because they are associated with an increased number of complications and death. The objective was determinate the epidemiologic and microbiologic features of the BI in neutropenic patients with solid neoplasm (SN) and hematologic neoplasm (HN). Retrospective study in two third level hospitals between 2009 and 2016.

Urinary tract infections in hospitalized patients.

Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are an important cause of morbidity in the community, constituting one of the main reasons for hospitalization, and the fourth cause of healthcare-associated infection. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of community-acquired UTI (CA-UTI) with need of hospitalization and healthcare-associated UTI (HA-UTI), their risk factors, etiologic agents and their antimicrobial susceptibility spectrum.

Methods: A prospective and analytic study was conducted, in which all admissions regarding CA-UTI with need of hospitalization and HA-UTI were evaluated during the period between 2016 and 2017 in two university hospitals.

[Epidemiological and microbiological characteristics of uncomplicated urinary infections].

Introduction: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections(UC-UTI) represent a frequent reason for consultation. Most cases are empirically treated, but the antimicrobial susceptibility of the causative microorganisms has changed over the past years. The objectives of this study where to determine UC-UTI causative microorganism and their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles in adult women.
