Description
Las bacterias Gram-negativas suponen un importante reto para la práctica clínica dada su versatilidad para adaptarse y generar resistencia a los diferentes grupos de antibióticos disponibles en los centros de salud. Actualmente, el patrón de resistencia de los patógenos Gram-negativos en Colombia sigue siendo un reto epidemiológico y clínico para el personal de salud. Se conocen múltiples tipos de patrones de resistencia en estos microorganismos; sin embargo, aún no se conoce su distribución específica, la presencia de metalocarbapenemasas, beta-lactamasas tipo oxacilinasa y carbapenemasas tipo serina. Además, hay escasos datos sobre si los diferentes tipos de carbapenemasa tienen resultados clínicos diferentes. Por lo tanto, proponemos un proyecto de metodología retrospectiva y descriptiva, a partir de cepas bacterianas recogidas de forma prospectiva de múltiples pacientes y tipos de infecciones, que tiene por objeto tipificar, tanto genotípica como fenotípicamente, las poblaciones de bacilos Gram-negativos (en este caso los pertenecientes a Enterobacteria, Acinetobacter spp. y Pseudomonas spp.). En una primera etapa, estos microorganismos se caracterizarán fenotípicamente con diferentes pruebas como la prueba de Hodge modificada, la prueba de sinergia del ácido borónico, la prueba de sinergia del EDTA y métodos colorimétricos como el Carba NP, entre otros. Posteriormente, las muestras serán clasificadas genotípicamente mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR), electroforesis en gel de campo pulsado (PFGE) y secuenciación completa del ADN. Finalmente, se hará una correlación de las diferentes poblaciones bacterianas con su presentación y resultados clínicos. Por último, se buscarán otros mecanismos de resistencia para añadirlos a la biblioteca de resistencias.
Layman's description
Gram-negative bacteria pose an important challenge for clinical practice given their versatility to adapt and generate resistance to the different groups of antibiotics available in health centers. Currently, the resistance pattern of Gram-negative pathogens in Colombia remains an epidemiological and clinical challenge for health personnel. Multiple types of resistance patterns are known in these microorganisms; however, their specific distribution, the presence of metallocarbapenemases, oxacillinase-type beta-lactamases and serine-type carbapenemases is not yet known. Additionally, there is scarce data on whether different types of carbapenemases have different clinical outcomes. Therefore, we propose a retrospective and descriptive methodology project, from bacterial strains collected prospectively from multiple patients and types of infections, which aims to typify, both genotypically and phenotypically, the populations of Gram-negative bacilli (in this case those belonging to Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas spp.). In the first stage, these microorganisms will be characterized phenotypically with different tests such as the modified Hodge test, boronic acid synergy test, EDTA synergy test and colorimetric methods such as Carba NP, among others. After this, the samples will be genotypically classified by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and complete DNA sequencing. Finally, a correlation of the different bacterial populations will be made to their presentation and clinical outcomes. Finally, other resistance mechanisms will be sought in order to add them to the resistome library.
