Abstract

Abstract: Based on the threat posed by Antimicrobial Resistance (RAM) to global health and development, this work is presented on the Incidence of Extended-spectrum beta-lactamaseproducing Enterobacteriaceae in the southern region of Ecuador through a systematic review of the literature of scientific articles, theses, official gazettes, posters, web pages of regulatory institutions. An electronic search was carried out in Google scholar, Pubmed, university repositories, taking into account inclusion criteria such as: period of time between 2010 and 2020, Loja provinces, Zamora Chinchipe, El Oro in fecal samples. In the analyzed incidence studies, the following were identified in Loja: E. coli with the highest percentage 70%, K. pneumoniae with 21.9%, Enterobacter aerogenes in 16.4%, Klebsiella oxytoca in 15% of and finally Proteus mirabilis with the 10%. In the province of El Oro and Zamora Chinchipe, no studies that met the inclusion criteria were observed, which supports the lack of information. Finally, it was determined that the most frequently isolated strains were: Escherichia coli, followed by K. pneumoniae.
