Infectious etiology and antimicrobial resistance in hemodialysis patients, San Luis, Potosi, Mexico [Etiología infecciosa y resistencia antimicrobiana en pacientes de Hemodiálisis, San Luis Potosí, México]

To determine the infectious etiology and antimicrobial drug resistance of clinical isolates from patients in the Hemodialysis, in a General Hospital in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Descriptive study, with regard to demographic variables such as age and sex of patients, and concomitant disease, etiologic agent isolated pattern of sensitivity or resistance. The genus Staphylococcus was the most frequent microorganism 70.89%25 (112), which were coagulase negative 64.29%25 (72) of these were resistant to methicillin 72.72%25 (52) in addition to being resistant in 75%25 (15 ) to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (SXT), ciprofloxacin 55%25 (11), and 45%25 (9) ertapenem. S aureus is the 35.72%25 (40), and methicillin resistance of 55%25 (22), additionally resistant to clindamycin in 90.91%25 (20) and ciprofloxacin 72.72%25 (16). High methicillin resistance patterns obtained from staphylococci, which were the main infectious etiology, it shows the need for intensified action to identify and control.
