INFECTIOUS DISEASES

OBJETIVO: Revisar y evaluar datos sobre el tratamiento de infecciones multiresistentes por Acenitobacter.

FUENTES DE INFORMACIÓN: Se identificó la literatura científica relevante en inglés por medio de búsquedas en la base de datos MEDLINE (1966 a Septiembre 2003) y revisiones de la bibliografía secundaria de artículos pertinentes.

SELECCIÓN DE ESTUDIOS Y EXTRACCIÓN DE DATOS: Se evaluó la relevancia clínica de todos los artículos identificados. El propósito de este artículo es repasar toda la epidemiología clínica relevante, la microbiología, y los estudios clínicos relacionados con las infecciones por Acinetobacter spp.

SÍNTESIS DE DATOS: Acenitobacter baumanii ha emergido como un problema mundial y como un patógeno nosocomial en pacientes hospitalizados. Acenitobacter spp. puede causar múltiples infecciones incluyendo neumonía, bacteriemia, meningitis, y infecciones del tracto urinario y del tejido blando; se asocia con una mortalidad elevada. Se han identificado muestras aislados resistentes a todos los agentes antimicrobianos comerciales, por lo que las opciones de tratamiento se han limitado. Ha sido necesario desarrollar agentes nuevos y ha aumentado el interés en compuestos viejos (por ejemplo, las polimixinas y ampicilina/sulbactam) para lograr un tratamiento óptimo de estos organismos con resistencia múltiples.

CONCLUSIONES: No existe una respuesta simple al tratamiento de infecciones por Acenitobacter. La erradicación de Acenitobacter spp. requiere adherencia a las buenas practicas de control de infección y un uso prudente de antibióticos, así como la utilización de terapia antimicrobiana efectiva. Algunas opciones potenciales son las terapias alternativas con colistina, ampicilina/sulbactam, y tetraciclina, pero carecen de estudios aleatorios controlados.
