Determinación de la concentración mínima inhibitoria mediante el Método automatizado y su relación con el Método de Difusión en disco en muestras de Urocultivo en el Hospital Regional Docente Ambato en el período Octubre 2015 – Febrero 2016

Abstract

The research project was undertaken to clarify various issues arising in the area of microbiology when analyzing samples. One of the most important public health problems is bacterial resistance that takes more strength every day in our environment so it is very important to continue to issue standardized reliable results while promoting the proper use of antibiotics different protocols. The research is based on the comparison of susceptibility by manual method by disk diffusion method and automated through the minimum inhibitory concentration in samples of urine culture in patients in the province of Tungurahua Ambato. For the present study took a population of 70 patients aged between 18 and 40 years attending the Provincial Teaching Hospital Ambato. A sample of 40 patients women / men who present themselves for a urinary tract characteristics are obtained. So we can say that in this research study presented 40 samples of E. coli growth corresponding to 100% of the sample. Concluding that the bacterium Escherichia coli is the main causative agent of Urinary Tract Infection in this region of Ecuador.
