PARRA GUTIERREZ, Dayana  y  RADA CUENTAS, Jaime. Sensitivity profile and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter spp. in the Bolivian Dutch Municipal Hospital. Rev. bol. ped. [online]. 2016, vol.55, n.1, pp.3-10. ISSN 1024-0675.

Objective: To observe the sensitivity profile and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter spp, isolated from patients hospitalized in the Bolivian Dutch Municipal Hospital during 2010 to 2014. Material and Methods: A total of 167 positive cultures of Acinetobacter spp were reviewed a non-experimental, descriptive, retrospective, observational cross-sectional study was conducted. Results: In the susceptibility testing of positive cultures of Acinetobacter spp. eight antimicrobials were used and the following sensitivity and resistance was identified: a) amikacin, sensitivity of 25%, 2% intermediate sensitivity and resistance 73%; b) ampicillin-sulbactam, sensitivity of 22%, 8% and intermediate resistance 70%; c) ceftazidime, sensitivity of 9%, 4% and intermediate resistance 87%; d) Ciprofloxacin sensitivity 19%, 1% and intermediate resistance 80%; e) gentamicin, sensitivity of 21%, intermediate resistance 0% and resistance 79%; f) TMP-SMX, sensitivity of 14%, intermediate 1% and resistance 85%; g) 61% sensitivity imipenem, intermediate 1% and resistance 38%; h) meropenem with sensitivity of 57%, intermediate resistance and 4% resistance 39%, absolute resistance to 6 antimicrobials was observed. multidrug resistense identified in 41%, the same as it was progressively increased in recentyears. Thus, in 2010 he found only 3% of multidrug, 6% in 2011,2012 and 2013 19% and in 2014 53%. Conclusions. The incidence of infections Acinetobacter spp, a nosocomial agent of great clinical importance, gradually increased in recent years in our hospital as their resistance. Therefore, it is advisable rational use of antimicrobials and improves bio-security measures in our hospital and health personnel.
