(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-16) Buendia Cáceres, Antony Rómulo; Quispe Manco, Maria del Carmen
A cross-sectional, descriptive, prospective, quantitative study was conducted, collecting 90 lettuce (Lactuca sativa) samples." The samples were processed using the Alvarez et al. methodology and the modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique. Results: A parasitic contamination rate of 80% was found in the Caquetá market, followed by 70% in the Huamantanga market. The findings included Strongyloides sp (33.7%), Trichomonas sp (24.1%), Blastocystis sp cysts (6.0%), and Uncinaria sp eggs (1.2%). Based on these results, the study recommends training for all participants in the production chain on proper cultivation and handling of vegetables and the preventive monitoring of markets for parasites in fruits and vegetables.

Susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infection in women of reproductive age at the Madre Niño San Bartolomé Teaching Hospital, from 2013 to 2017
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-02-21) Acuña Roca, Gerson Alfredo; Babilonia Falcón, Ricardo Portal; Quispe Manco, Maria del Carmen
Objective: To determine the susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections in women of reproductive age at the Hospital Docente Madre Niño San Bartolomé, from 2013 to 2017. Methods: This is a quantitative, retrospective, and descriptive study of all urine cultures performed on pregnant patients during the stated period. The variable evaluated is the susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli against different antimicrobials in women of reproductive age with urinary tract infections. Data were obtained using mean and frequency statistics in percentage. Results: Of the 66,089 urine cultures processed during the study period from 2013 to 2017, 5,934 (8.98%) were positive for Escherichia coli isolation. The year with the lowest number of isolations was 2013, with 11,592 urine cultures and 956 isolations (8.25%). In 2014, from 12,342 urine cultures, 1,186 (9.6%) were positive for isolation. Conclusions: The highest antimicrobial resistance was observed against ampicillin (67.1%), trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole (54.3%), and ciprofloxacin (47.9%), while resistance against amikacin and imipenem was low, between 0% and 1.8%. Regarding ESBL, the frequency trend showed an increase in 2016 (40.2%), compared to 2013 (18.2%).
