Resumen
Introducción: Las bacterias anaerobias ocupan diferentes nichos ecológicos y regulan la respuesta inmune innata del huésped; sin embargo, algunas de ellas se consideran patógenos oportunistas, ya que pueden invadir y producir daño. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de bacterias anaerobias en muestras clínicas de pacientes internados y ambulatorios en el Hospital (de adultos) “Dr. Julio C. Perrando” de la ciudad de Resistencia (Chaco, Argentina) durante el período de abril del 2017 a agosto del 2018. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, retrospectivo y, a la vez, experimental y prospectivo identificando muestras enviadas para cultivo en anaerobiosis. Resultados: Se analizaron 419 muestras provenientes de los diferentes servicios del nosocomio. En 46 de ellas (11%), se determinó la presencia de microorganismos anaerobios; predominaron las muestras de pacientes de sexo femenino (88 %) tomadas de cavidades uterinas (33 %) y heridas quirúrgicas (23 %) y provenientes de la sala de ginecología (66 %). Solo un 7 % de las coloraciones de Gram fue compatible con bacterias anaerobias y 13 % tuvo cultivo bacteriológico positivo; de estas últimas, el 86 % correspondió a bacterias estrictamente anaerobias. El género aislado con mayor frecuencia fue Prevotella spp. (56 %), predominantemente a partir de muestras ginecológicas (66 %). Conclusión: En este estudio, se reveló una prevalencia del 11 %de bacterias anaerobias en muestras clínicas de uno de los principales hospitales públicos del nordeste de Argentina, destacándose Prevotella spp. como patógeno oportunista que debe considerarse para adaptar el tratamiento empírico al perfil epidemiológico local.
Introduction: Anaerobic bacteria occupy different ecological niches and regulate the innate immune response of the host; however, some of them are considered opportunistic pathogens as they can invade and cause damage. Objective: To determine the prevalence of anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples from both hospitalized and ambulatory patients at the Dr. J.C. Perrando Hospital, located in the city of Resistencia (Chaco, Argentina), during the period April 2017 - August 2018. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational and prospective experimental study was carried out, identifying samples sent for culture in anaerobiosis. Results: Four hundred and nineteen samples from different services of this hospital were analyzed. The presence of anaerobic microorganisms was determined in forty-six of them (11%), predominantly female patient samples (88%), taken from uterine cavities (33%) and surgical wounds (23%), and from the gynecology room (66%). Only 7% of the Gram stains were compatible with anaerobes and 13% yielded positive bacterial cultures; of the latter, 86% corresponded to strictly anaerobic bacteria. The genus most frequently isolated was Prevotella spp. (56%), predominantly from gynecological samples (66%). Conclusion: This study revealed an eleven percent prevalence of anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples from one of the main public hospitals in northeastern Argentina, and Prevotella spp. highlighted as an opportunistic pathogen to be considered to adapt empirical treatment to the local epidemiological profile.
