Overview

Systematic review identifies antimicrobial resistance trends in Ecuador, suggesting urgent multisectoral surveillance improvements.

Key Points

  • To systematically review laboratory-confirmed bacterial resistance in Ecuador from 2000 to 2024 across various sectors.
  • Review of eighty studies reporting antimicrobial resistance data from human, animal, food, and environmental sources.
  • Focus on resistance data related to specific bacteria, primarily in urban hospital settings.
  • Assessment of resistance patterns, particularly among gram-negative bacteria and antibiotic classes.
  • Escherichia coli accounted for 56.6% of the resistance burden, with significant contributions from Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella spp. (22.3%).
  • Resistance to beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones was predominant, with notable carbapenem resistance among WHO priority pathogens.
  • Limited and heterogeneous evidence from animal, food, and environmental sectors underscored critical surveillance gaps.
