ANALYSIS OF THE DRUG SENSITIVITY PROFILE IN BACTERIA ISOLATED IN NEONATAL ICU (NICU).

Abstract

Bacterial resistance presents itself as a public health problem, in addition to accentuating one of the most prominent health problems such as nosocomial infections. The objective of this study was to analyze the profile of drug sensitivity in bacteria isolated in the Neonatal ICU (NICU), from August/2018 to March/2019. Blood samples and positive swabs from anal and oral collection were quantified; identified bacteria isolated at the species level; and the sensitivity profiles were identified. After approval by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP), and following the precepts of the National Health Council (CNS), the data were provided by the Hospital Infection Control Commission (CCIH). A total of 39 samples with growth of microorganisms were obtained. The sector with the most positive samples was the NICU II (31): 17 blood, 11 anal swab and 3 oral swab. The morpho-tintorial characterization revealed that 59% of the bacteria have bacillus and gram-negative morphology, and 41% coconuts and gram-positive. Among the prevalence in relation to the species, Staphylococcus sp. (41%) and Klebsiella sp. (33%). This study will serve as a database and information for the hospital's multiprofessional teams on the relevance of adequate prevention and treatment of HAIS.
