Abstract
La Escherichia coli (E. coli) forma parte del grupo de las principales enterobacterias, que por su alta prevalencia y capacidad de generar resistencia a ciertos antimicrobianos es la causante de varios procesos infecciosos de origen comunitario sobre todo infecciones del tracto urinario. El mecanismo de defensa de estas bacterias es la activación enzimática a través de las Betalactamas de tipo BLEE, AmpC y CARBAPENEMASAS. Materiales y Métodos. Diseño documental transversal, con un enfoque cuantitativo, la población estuvo constituida por 671 informes de urocultivo procesadas en el período de enero - abril de 2020 en el Laboratorio Clínico Neolab de la ciudad de Cuenca en el Ecuador. Resultados . El 96,4% de las muestras son de pacientes femenino y un 3.6% al género masculino, el promedio de edad, el estudio tuvo mayor prevalencia en pacientes de 40 años de edad. El 7.62% de las muestras resultaron BLEE positivas, 0.13% AmpC y el 0% CARBAPENEMASAS. Los antibióticos con un mayor índice de efectividad para tratar la E.coli productora de BLEE en urocultivos fueron la Nitrofurantoína, la Gentamicina y Fosfomicina con índices de efectividad del 87.93%, 79,31% y 70,68% respectivamente. Sin embargo los antimicrobianos como Ampicilina presentaron una resistencia del 100% y Trimethoprim sulfa metoxazol del 72.41%. Conclusión . La detección de frecuencia de enzimas BLEE, AmpC y Carbapenemasas, orienta a un tratamiento terapéutico adecuado. Los pacientes con bacterias productoras de BLEE, tienen un alto índice de mortalidad al ser tratados con antimicrobianos que las bacterias presentan una resistencia alta.

The defense mechanism of these bacteria is enzymatic activation through ESBL-type Betalactams, AmpC and CARBAPENEMASES. Materials and Methods. Cross-sectional documentary design, with a quantitative approach, the population consisted of 671 uroculture reports processed in the period January - April 2020 at the Neolab Clinical Laboratory in the city of Cuenca in Ecuador. Results. 96.4% of the samples are from female patients and 3.6% from male gender, the average age, the study had a higher prevalence in 40-year-old patients. 7.62% of the samples were positive ESBL, 0.13% AmpC and 0% CARBAPENEMASES. The antibiotics with the highest effectiveness rate for treating ESBL-producing E.coli in urine cultures were Nitrofurantoin, Gentamicin, and Fosfomycin, with effectiveness rates of 87.93%, 79.31%, and 70.68%, respectively. However, antimicrobials such as Ampicillin showed a resistance of 100% and Trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole of 72.41%. Conclusion. The frequency detection of ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemases enzymes guides an adequate therapeutic treatment. Patients with ESBL-producing bacteria have a high mortality rate when treated with antimicrobials that the bacteria have high resistance.
