Presencia de Streptococcus bovis en muestras de orina de sujetos con síntomas de infección del aparato urinario.

Se revisó retrospectivamente la sensibilidad a los antibióticos de 91 aislados de S. bovis recuperados de muestras de orina durante un período de 4 anos ˜ (2012-2015). La media de la edad de los pacientes fue de 55 anos ˜ y en su mayoría fueron mujeres (81%). El 37,4% eran pacientes hospitalizados con enfermedades urológicas (61%). La sensibilidad a penicilina, vancomicina y teicoplanina fue del 97,8%. Aunque S. bovis puede ser poco común en los aislamientos de orina, su presencia en sujetos con enfermedades de base justifica la realización de estudios de patogenicidad que demuestren la verdadera capacidad de producir enfermedad de este grupo de bacterias.Given the relevance of proper clinical validation of Streptococcus bovis, we here consider revising its presence in urine samples in order to determine its relative frequency and the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility. The susceptibility to antibiotics of 91 isolates of S. bovis from urine samples was retrospectively reviewed over a period of 4 years (2012-2015). The mean age of patients was 55 years, 81% of whom were women and 37.4% were hospitalized patients suffering from urological diseases (61%). Susceptibility to penicillin, vancomycin and teicoplanin was 97.8%. Due to the fact that S. bovis can be infrequent in urine isolates and given its presence in patients suffering from urological diseases, further pathogenic studies, showing the true ability of this group of bacteria to produce disease, are required.spaStreptococcus bovisUrinary tract infectionAntibiotic susceptibilitySensibilidad antibióticaInfección urinariaBacteriasSusceptibilidad a enfermedadesHumanosPenicilina GPenicilinasEstudios retrospectivosTeicoplaninaVancomicinaEnfermedades urológicasAntibacterianosMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Chemical Actions and Uses::Pharmacologic Actions::Therapeutic Uses::Anti-Infective Agents::Anti-Bacterial AgentsMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::BacteriaMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Disease Attributes::Disease SusceptibilityMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Organic Chemicals::Amides::Lactams::beta-Lactams::Penicillins::Penicillin GMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Organic Chemicals::Amides::Lactams::beta-Lactams::PenicillinsMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Study Characteristics as Topic::Epidemiologic Studies::Case-Control Studies::Retrospective StudiesMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Bacteria::Gram-Positive Bacteria::Gram-Positive Cocci::Streptococcaceae::Streptococcus::Streptococcus bovisMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Carbohydrates::Glycoconjugates::Glycopeptides::TeicoplaninMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Male Urogenital Diseases::Urologic DiseasesMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Urologic DiseasesMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Carbohydrates::Glycoconjugates::Glycopeptides::Vancomycinresearch article27838157open access10.1016/j.ram.2016.06.003
