El presidente de la Sociedad Española de Medicina Preventiva, Salud Pública e Higiene, el doctor Francisco Botía, y el doctor Ángel Asensio, miembro de la citada sociedad, han participado en reuniones con el ECDC, el Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad y otras sociedades científicas, para valorar la situación actual del uso de antimicrobianos en España.
3. EPINE: a series of Point Prevalence Surveys
Anual: since 1990
National study
Non compulsory
Representativeness:
(more than half acute care inpatients)
Monitoring antimicrobial resistance since 1999
2012: udpdated ECDC methodology
Includes data on Community-onset infections
11. Asensio A, et al. (EPINE WG). Trends in yearly prevalence of third-generation
cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections and antimicrobial use in Spanish
hospitals, Spain, 1999 to 2010. Euro Surveill. 2011;16:36-9

cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections and antimicrobial use in Spanish
hospitals, Spain, 1999 to 2010. Euro Surveill. 2011;16:36-9
32. Antimicrobial use is among the highest in Europe:
For carbapenems, 3-4G cephalosporins, quinolones and antimycotics
Former intensive use of quinolones and 3G cephalosporins
Increase resistance of enterobacteriaceae to Quinolones and 3GC
Intensive use of carbapenems
increase resistance of enterobacteriaceae to carbapenems
Rates of resistance
MRSA:
▪ Is high
▪ Decreasing since 2010 associated to Hand Hygiene campaign
▪ Much higher than that reported by EARSS laboratories
▪ Resistance in the community is increasing toward hospital levels
33. Enterobacteriaceae resistances
E. coli and K pneumoniae 3GC resistance:
▪ high
▪ Community infections: reaching HAI levels
E. coli resistant to Carbapenem: 1-2% of the HAIs
K. pneumoniae resistant to carbapenems
▪ High: 12-17% of HAI isolates
▪ Community-onset infections: increasing: 2-6% in 2015
Non fermenting GN bacilli resistance
P. aeruginosa resitance to carbapenems is high and increasing in the
last 4 years
A. baumanii resistant to carbapenem is high but decreasing.
Rates of resistance reported by PPS are higher than those
reported by EARSS net
