    We characterized the antimicrobial resistance of 70 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from patients with a urinary tract infection (UTI) from 8 public hospitals in Peru. Resistance profiles were identified using the automated MicroScan® system. A standard polymerase chain reaction was used for the detection of the bla TEM, bla CTX-M, bla SHV and bla PER genes. The 65.7% (46/70) of the isolates presented a multidrug-resistant phenotype and 55.7% (39/70) were extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producers. High levels of resistance were detected for ampicillin (77,1%), ciprofloxacin (74,3%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (62,9%), cefepime (57,1%), and cefuroxime (57,1%). The bla TEM gene was the most frequent (31,4%), followed by bla CTX-M (18,6%) and bla SHV (2,9%) genes. These results show high resistance levels to antimicrobials of clinical use in E. coli isolates from hospital UTI patients in Peru.

    Background The MDR1 gene presents several genetic polymorphisms with pharmacological implications. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to establish the genotype and allele frequencies of 3435C>T polymorphism of MDR1 gene into Peruvian populations (Coastal, Andean and Amazonian ecoregions), even considering the altitude (lowland <2500 m and highland >2500 m). Methods The polymorphism was analyzed by TaqMan genotyping assays in a group of 181 healthy unrelated Peruvian individuals. The comparison of genotype and allele frequencies of 3435C>T polymorphism was made with the Pearson test (X2), and, to calculate the genotype distributions, the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was used. Results In all populations evaluated in this study, the genotype frequency distributions met HWE assumptions. The comparison between genotype and allele frequencies showed significant differences (p < 0.05), when the Andean, Coastal and Amazonian populations were compared. Also, significant differences (p < 0.05) were obtained when these populations were compared considering their altitudes. Likewise, in comparison with countries like USA, Finland, Nigeria and Kenya, the results showed significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusions This investigation allowed us to establish the genotype and allele frequencies of 3435C>T polymorphism in different Peruvian populations, considering the geographic localization and even the altitude.

    OBJECTIVE.: To identify the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater from hospitals in Peru. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: Water samples were collected from the effluents of nine hospitals in Peru during March and September 2022. SARS-CoV-2 was identified by using Illumina sequencing. Variant, lineage and clade assignments were carried out using the Illumina and Nextclado tools. We verified whether the SARS-CoV-2 variants obtained from wastewater were similar to those reported by the National Institute of Health of Peru from patients during the same period and region. RESULTS.: Eighteen of the 20 hospital wastewater samples (90%) provided sequences of sufficient quality to be classified as the Omicron variant according to the WHO classification. Among them, six (30%) were assigned by Nextclade to clades 21K lineage BA.1.1 (n=1), 21L lineage BA.2 (n=2), and 22B lineages BA.5.1 (n=2) and BA .5.5 (n=1). CONCLUSIONS.: SARS-CoV-2 variants were found in hospital wastewater samples and were similar to those reported by the surveillance system in patients during the same weeks and geographic areas. Wastewater monitoring could provide information on the environmental and temporal variation of viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. Motivation for the study. To contribute to the surveillance of environmental samples from hospital effluents in order to achieve early warning of possible infectious disease outbreaks. Main findings. The Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus was detected in wastewater from hospitals in Puno, Cuzco and Cajamarca; these results are similar to the reports by the Peruvian National Institute of Health based on nasopharyngeal swab samples. Implications. The presence of the Omicron variant in hospital wastewater during the third wave of the pandemic should raise awareness of the treatment system before wastewater is discharged into the public sewer system.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of 90% coverage of diphtheria three-dose complete vaccination scheme (DPT) as part of routine immunization programs in children. However, diphtheria coverage in Peru has not reached the minimum recommended during the last decades. Our study aimed to determine the complete three-dose DPT coverage and factors associated with compliance towards complete vaccination in Peru between 2010-2019. We conducted a secondary cross-sectional study using the "Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES)"- Demographic and Family Health Survey, which is a survey that targets mothers between 15 and 49 years of age. DPT vaccination coverage was 72.4% and several factors were associated with the DPT scheme completion. Women in the age groups 18 to 24 (ORa = 2.31, 95%CI: 2.11-2.52), 25 to 34 (ORa = 3.37, 95% CI: 3.08-3.69), and 35 to 49 (ORa = 4.74, 95% CI: 4.29-5.22) were more likely to complete their children's DPT vaccination scheme compared to those between 15 to 17 years of age. Both Spanish (ORa = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.31-1.48) and Quechua (ORa = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.25-1.43) as first spoken language were associated with DPT completion compared to native language speaking mothers. Women who worked (ORa = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.57-1.88), studied (ORa = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.33-1.62), or were housewives (ORa = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.29-1.54) during the previous week were more likely to complete their children's DPT scheme compared to participants that did not work during the previous week. Women with the financial capability to access health care were less likely to complete the DPT scheme (ORa = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.97). Considering the accessibility to health care centers, women who knew the nearest location (ORa = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03-1.11), had geographic accessibility (ORa = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.06-1.13) or a current transport (ORa = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.02-1.09) were more likely to complete their children 's DPT scheme. Our results highlight low diphtheria vaccine coverage levels in Peru, with values lower than what is recommended by the WHO. Results may serve as a baseline for future studies to improve vaccination programs, reduce barriers and increase DPT coverage in Peru.

    Introduction: The appearance of multidrug-resistant and beta-lactamase producing enterobacteria in outpatient care facilities represent a public health problem in Perú. Objective: To compare the resistance profiles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli and to identify extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing phenotypes in three private health facilities located in the Peruvian coast, Andean and jungle regions. Materials and methods: We conducted a descriptive study on 98 urine samples from Lima (coast), Juliaca (Andean region) and Iquitos (jungle region) during 2016. We determined the antimicrobial susceptibility in 35 samples from Lima, 38 from Juliaca and 25 from Iquitos using eight antibiotic disks in samples from patients diagnosed with urinary infection. We also evaluated the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases with cefotaxime and ceftazidime disks and a combination of both with clavulanic acid on Mueller-Hinton agar. Results: We identified 18 resistance profiles ranging from those sensitive to others simultaneously resistant to seven antibiotics: 18.4% resistant to one and 54.0% to multiple antibiotics. We detected beta-lactamase production in 28.6% of the strains from the Puno region. Likewise, we observed a greater number of cases with resistance to ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in Puno’s health facility in patients within the 31 to 45 year age range. Conclusion: Resistance profiles varied according to the geographical location of the health facilities under study. Resistance to antibiotics was higher in the Andean region with 28.6% of strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.

    Motivation for the study. The presence of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria isolated from common flies is a potential public health hazard because it facilitates the presence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. Main findings. Thirty-eight bacterial strains identified in 14 species were isolated from within the fly bodies, of which 31 strains showed resistance to carbapenems and 26 strains showed resistance to colistin. Seven bacterial strains showed carbapenem resistance genes and one Escherichia coli strain had resistance to KPC, OXA-48 and mcr-1. Implications. This is the first report of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria carried by common flies in Peru. The objective was to determine the presence of carbapenem resistance genes and plasmid resistance to colistin (mcr-1) in bacteria isolated from Musca domestica in a garbage dump near a hospital in Lima, Peru. Bacteria with phenotypic resistance to carbapenemics were isolated on CHROMagar mSuperCARBATM medium and colistin resistance profiling was performed using the colistin disk elution method. Detection of blaKPC, blaNDM, blaIMP, blaOXA-48, blaVIM and mcr-1 genes was performed by conventional PCR. The antimicrobial susceptibility profile was determined using the automated MicroScan system. We found that 31/38 strains had phenotypic resistance to carbapenemics and 26/38 strains had phenotypic resistance to colistin with a minimum inhibitory concentration ≥ 4 µg/ml. Finally, we identified seven bacterial strains with carbapenem resistance genes (OXA-48 and KPC) and one bacterial strain with plasmid resistance to colistin (mcr-1). One Escherichia coli strain had three resistance genes: KPC, OXA-48 and mcr-1.
