Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat, resulting in millions of deaths per year from antibiotic-resistant infections. The most common causes of these infections are a group of bacteria known as ESKAPEE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species and Escherichia coli). Objective. To analyze the presence of the ESKAPEE group in wounds of patients in a hospital in the city of Puebla. Methodology. Descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional research, developed in a second level hospital in the city of Puebla. The study population consisted of all samples from patients with infections or suspected in-hospital infections from wound cultures taken in a hospital in the city of Puebla in the period from January 2022 to December 2022. A total of 772 samples from inpatient wound cultures were analyzed. The frequency of ESKAPEE group isolates was analyzed using the Excel package. Results. Of the total number of isolates, 57.77% (446) corresponded to the ESKAPEE group and 42.23% (326) to species other than the study group. An analysis of the total isolates of bacteria belonging to the ESKAPEE group (446 isolates) showed the following (Figure 2): Enterococcus faecium in 5.61% (25) of isolates, Staphylococcus aureus 32.74% (146 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae 4.26% (19 isolates), Acinetobacter baumannii 7. 85% (35 isolates), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12.56% (56 isolates), Enterobacter spp. 6.95% (31 isolates) and finally Escherichia coli with 30.04% (134 isolates). Conclusion. The study identified the presence of colonization in hospitalized patients, being this colonization in its majority, by resistant bacteria belonging to the ESKAPE group.
