During 2020-2021, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean reported clinical emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales that had not been previously characterized locally, increased prevalence carbapenemases detected, co-production multiple some isolates. These increases were likely fueled by changes related to COVID-19 pandemic, including empirical antibiotic use for potential COVID-19-related bacterial infections healthcare limitations resulting from rapid rise cases....
ABSTRACT Polymyxins are last-resort antimicrobial agents used to treat infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae . Due the worldwide dissemination of polymyxin resistance in animal and human isolates, we aimed characterize associated with presence mcr-1 nonfermenter Gram-negative bacilli, using isolates collected retrospectively Colombia from 2002 2016. A total 5,887 clinical were studied, 513 found be resistant polymyxins. Susceptibility colistin was confirmed broth...
Preventing healthcare associated infections, especially for resistant microorganisms, is a priority. In Colombia, the surveillance of such events was started through national pilot study.To describe epidemiology device-associated bacterial resistance and antibiotic consumption patterns in institutions with intensive care units (ICU), 2011.Descriptive observational study 10 health from three Colombian provinces: Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Bogotá. Surveillance protocols were designed...

Describir los perfiles resistencia resultados vigilancia por laboratorio base datos recolectados Sistema.Materiales métodos. Se hizo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo del Salud Pública, Sivigila, 1 septiembre 2012 31 diciembre 2014, así como bases...
Introduction: Preventing healthcare associated infections, especially for resistant microorganisms, is a priority. In Colombia, the surveillance of such events was started through national pilot study.Objective: To describe epidemiology device-associated bacterial resistance and antibiotic consumption patterns in institutions with intensive care units (ICU), 2011.Materials methods: Descriptive observational study 10 health from three Colombian provinces: Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Bogotá....
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children adults the world.Analysis data from laboratory surveillance S. pneumoniae, invasive isolates recovered 1994 to 2004.Database sent Microbiology Group through national network acute bacterial meningitis respiratory infections, 2004. The had epidemiological data, serotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns some them molecular typing.The 2,022 120 hospitals different regions country were analyzed. mainly...
To describe the epidemiological, phenotypical and genetic characteristics of clinical isolates carrying
In 1997, a surveillance program to assess the main bacterial pathogens associated with acute diarrheal disease was initiated by Microbiology Group of lnstituto Nacional de Salud in collaboration Public Health Laboratories (PHL) country and PAHO. The objective identify serotypes antimicrobial resistance patterns Salmonella spp., Shigella spp, Vibrio cholerae 01 isolates. Twenty two PHL participated total 976 isolates from 1997 1999; 96% were clinical 4% food 34% 23% 42% V. 01. From isolates,...
Invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae serotype b results in high rates of morbidity and mortality among children. In 1994, the Microbiology Group at Instituto Nacional de Salud (Colombia) initiated a program to detect antimicrobial resistance H. influenzae. isolates were collected hospitals public health laboratories as part surveillance programs for acute respiratory infections bacterial meningitis. To determine evolution serotypes patterns, invasive from 1994 2002 compared,...
Shigellosis is endemic in low-and middle-income countries, causing approximately 125 million episodes of diarrhea and leading to 160 .000 deaths annually one-third which associated with children.To describe the characteristics antimicrobial resistance profiles Shigella species recovered Colombia from 1997 2018.We received isolates laboratories 29 Colombian departments. We serotyped specific antiserum determined minimal inhibitory concentrations for ten antibiotics Kirby-Bauer tests following...

In 1998, the Colombian government initiated an immunization program for children under one year of age with a Haemophilus influenzae capsular type b conjugate vaccine. After two years, surveillance Instituto Nacional de Salud Microbiology Group reported 40% decrease in meningitis cases caused by H. influenzae. This effect was attributed to vaccination. The uses standardized slide agglutination technique serotype current study validated accuracy method means PCR technique. From five years...
