Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus carriers in health personnel of the Victor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility

Abstract

The present study was carried out with the purpose of determining the prevalencia of payees of Staphylococcus aureus in personal of health of the Hospital Victor to Rope you Echegaray, during the month of August of the 2003 and to determine its sensibility to the antimicrobianos in vitro. They took samples of nasal and pharyngeal hisopados to personal of surgery, UCI-UCIN and room of operations those which of they cultivated between tioglicolato, agar bleeds and agar Manitol. The isolated stumps were identified by means of the tests catalasa, coagulasa, coloration gram, action on the manitol and then they were carried out antibiogramas by means of the method of Kirby and Bauer. The results show a prevalencia of 28,6% in personal of health, in personnel medical 38,5%, in technicians 23,1% and in nurses 20,8%. In personal of the service of UCI-UCIN, he/she was 46,7%, in surgery 28,6% and in SOP 15%. The nasal payees were 23,8% and pharyngeal 15,9%. Of the used antimicrobianos 100% of sensibility was presented to vancomicina, 94,44% to amikacina, 77,78% to oxacilina and ciprofloxacina, 72,22% to cefalexina, 55,56% to amoxil/ac. clavulánico and ceclor, 27,78% to clindamicina and 16,67% to penicillin.
