Resumen

AQUINO, Ruth et al. Molecular characterization of pathogenic bacteria of the respiratory tract in peruvian patients with cystic fibrosis. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.3, pp.423-435. ISSN 1726-4634.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2017.343.2529.

Objectives. To molecularly characterize the pathogenic bacteria of the respiratory tract isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Peru. Materials and methods. Bacterial communities cultured from sputum samples of pediatric and adult patients with CF admitted to the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital and the National Institute of Child Health were characterized. Standard microbiological techniques were used for bacterial culture, and gene sequencing of 16S rRNA and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and tandem MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MALDITOF/TOF) were used for molecular characterization. Results. Seventeen bacterial strains were characterized by 16S rRNA sequencing, and the identified pathogenic bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (31.5%), Staphylococcus aureus (12.6%), Pseudomonas spp. (11.8%), and Klebsiella oxytoca (3.1%). MALDI-TOF analysis generated a series of spectra representative of each isolated bacterial species, whereas MALDI TOF/TOF analysis identified the peptides and proteins of the most common strains and provided data on pathogenicity and sensitivity to antibiotics. Conclusions. The primary pathogenic microorganisms found in the respiratory tract of patients with CF in Peru were the same as those found in other countries. This study is the first to perform 16S rRNA sequencing as well as MALDI-TOF and MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis of the bacterial pathogens circulating in Peru. The inclusion of proteomic analysis further allowed for the identification of native microorganisms involved in CF.
