    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-05-07) Villarreal Guevara, Nathaly Marbelly; Benites Azabache, Juan Carlos
    This research is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study. A total of 148 data points from patients were collected, including age, sex, source service, prior antibiotic use, hospitalization time, and the enterobacteria isolated in their urine cultures. The statistical software EpiInfo and Excel were used for frequency analysis and graphical representation. The results showed that the prevalence of patients with UTIs positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacteria was 23.2%. Of the 148 cases, 81.8% were women, the mean age was 49.4 years, 66.2% came from general medicine, the average hospitalization time was 12.3 +/- 13.5 days, and 68.9% of the enterobacteria isolated and positive for ESBL were Escherichia coli. The most frequent comorbidities were diabetes and hypertension, and 26.3% of the patients had received ceftriaxone prior to confirmation of infection by ESBL.
