RESUMO
Candiduria detection in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients is of great clinical significance. The aim of our study was to describe the isolation frequency of significant species of yeasts in urine samples processed in our hospital during the period 2010- 2013, and to analyze their susceptibility to commonly used antifungal agents. Species identification was performed by seeding on a chromogenic medium, the filamentation test and automated systems (ASM Vitek and MALDI Biotyper), while susceptibility was determined using the ASM Vitek system. Of the 632 yeast isolates in urine, 371 were Candida albicans species and 261 non-C. albicans Candida spp. The species with the highest number of resistant isolates were Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. Based on the results obtained, we believe that species identification and the susceptibility study should be current practice in the laboratories when species other than C. albicans are isolated.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A study of the susceptibility to antimicrobials of the extended spectrum beta-lactamase phenotypes (ESBL) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. was performed to discover the evolution of this type of resistance from urinary tract infections. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective study was carried out between 2012 and 2016. Susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, tobramycin, cefoxitin, fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin, co-trimoxazole, and carbapenems was analyzed using MicroScan® system. RESULTS: A total of 95,399 samples were processed and 9,772 E. coli, 1,784 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 248 Klebsiella oxytoca were isolated. ESBL strains were more frequent in women, although they decreased during 2015 and 2016 (65.7-67.2%). The prevalence of K. pneumoniae ESBL increased annually (28.1% in 2016). The average prevalence of E. coli ESBL was 10.5% with few oscillations. Higher resistance occurred to ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole, 89.5 and 94.7% in 2015, respectively, and there was lesser resistance to imipenem. Fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin were very active on E. coli ESBL. CONCLUSIONS: ESBL producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae were prevalent, especially the latter, with a significant resistance to ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole. Susceptibility to imipenem was high.

Purpose. Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are responsible for numerous nosocomial infections. The objective of this study was to determine the development of their susceptibility to ten antibiotics and the antibiotic consumption of patients with suspicion of urinary tract infection (UTI).Methodology. A retrospective study was conducted on the susceptibility profiles of A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa isolates from 749 urine samples gathered between January 2013 and December 2016, and on the consumption of imipenem, meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam between 2014 and 2016.Results. Hospital patients were the source of 82 (91.1â%) of the 90 A. baumannii isolates detected and 555 (84.2â%) of the 659 P. aeruginosa isolates. Globally, the lowest percentage susceptibility values were found for fosfomycin, aztreonam and ciprofloxacin, while colistin continued to be the most active antibiotic in vitro. In 2016, the susceptibility of A. baumannii to carbapenem and piperacillin-tazobactam decreased to very low values, while the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to carbapenem remained stable but its susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam decreased. There was a marked increase in the consumption of piperacillin-tazobactam.Conclusion. In our setting, it is no longer possible to use carbapenems and piperacillin-tazobactam for empirical treatment of UTI due to A. baumannii or to use piperacillin-tazobactam for empirical treatment of UTI due to P. aeruginosa. Colistin was found to be the most active antibiotic in vitro. There was a marked increase in the consumption of piperacillin-tazobactam.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is characterized by long-lasting symptoms, frequently associated with psychosomatic disorders. The objective of the study was to study PCB in our environment clinically and microbiologically. METHODS: Between January 2013 and December 2014 761 patients with suspected CBP were studied. Of these patients 332 (43.6%) underwent a complete microbiological study and the major clinical signs and symptoms were collected. RESULTS: Eighteen point four percent of patients were diagnosed microbiologically with CBP, Enterococcus faecalis being the main aetiologic agent (37.7%), followed by Escherichia coli (22.2%). Ninety-six point seven percent of the CBP had positive semen cultures, while only 22.9% had positive urine post-semen cultures. Data of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of semen were 96.7%, 95.9%, 84.3% and 99.3%, respectively and urine post-semen 22.9%, 99.3%, 87.5% and 85.1%, respectively. Testicular perineum pain (44.3%), ejaculatory discomfort (27.9%) and haemospermia (26.2%) were highlighted as the patients' main clinical manifestations. CONCLUSIONS: Fractionated culture for the microbiological diagnosis of CBP could be simplified by the culture of urine pre-semen and semen, without the need for the culture of urine post-semen. The main aetiologic agent of CBP in our media was Enterococcus faecalis, followed by Escherichia coli.

La detección de candiduria en pacientes hospitalizados o inmunodeprimidos tiene una gran relevancia clínica. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue describir la frecuencia de aislamiento de diferentes especies significativas de levaduras en las muestras de orina procesadas en nuestro hospital en el periodo 2010-2013 y analizar su sensibilidad a los antifúngicos de uso habitual. La identificación de especies se realizó por siembra en un medio cromogénico, prueba de filamentación y sistemas automatizados (ASM Vitek y MALDI Biotyper), mientras que la sensibilidad a los antifúngicos se determinó con el sistema ASM Vitek. De los 632 aislamientos de levaduras obtenidos, 371 fueron Candida albicans y 261 especies de Candida no C. albicans. Las especies con mayor número de aislados resistentes fueron Candida glabrata y Candida krusei. Basados en nuestros resultados, consideramos que la identificación de la especie y el estudio de la sensibilidad a los antifúngicos deberían ser prácticas habituales por parte de los laboratorios cuando se aíslan especies diferentes a C. albicans
