Evaluation of antibiotic susceptibility in Enterococcus Faecalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from hospital surfaces

One of the most important factors for the dissemination of infections, is the ability of bacteria to survive for important periods of time, on inert surfaces such as hospital, from where they can infect new hosts. Among the main pathogens with long survival on inanimate surfaces we have the genres of Enterococcus and Klebsiella that could survive up to 4 months and more 30 months respectively. (1) Of the aforementioned genera, perhaps the most frequently found pathogenic bacterial species are Enterococcus Faecalis (E. Faecalis) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. Pneumoniae). The resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial is a matter of great relevance in public health, since it refers to the ability of certain organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and some parasites to resist the effects of medications such as: antibiotics, fungicides, antivirals, antipalúdico, etc. when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, infections that cause infections that cause them. Habitual treatment, raising their morbidity and mortality index, which makes them an important threat to public health worldwide. The Food and Medicines Administration of the United States of America (FDA) for some years has been highlighting as a high priority, avoiding the misuse of antibiotics and the need for the development of new drugs.
