Introduction: Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is a recognized pathogen associated with infections in newborns and small infants, pregnant women, and puerperal women. In recent years there has been an increase in infections by this agent in non-pregnant adult patients, being more frequent in people over 65 years of age and with some comorbidity.Methods: retrospective and observational study of samples from non-pregnant adult patients analyzed in the Bacteriology Laboratory of the Hospital Nacional de Clínicas of the city of Córdoba, from January 2008 to December 2017. Age and sex of the patients, comorbidities, and type of sample were analyzed shows.Results: The total of positive samples was 187, 91 (49%) corresponded to women and 96 (51%) to men. The average age was 67 years. Of the samples, urine was the prevalent one with 90 isolates (48.1%), followed by blood with 39 (20.8%) and skin and soft tissues with 38 (20.3%). Of the 187 adults, 177 (95%) had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent being diabetes, followed by neoplasms. Only 10 (5%) did not present comorbidities.Conclusion: The findings in our work, as well as those published by various authors, show the need to consider Streptococcus agalactiae not only a pathogen of neonates and pregnant women, but also of elderly patients with different comorbidities, especially those who suffer from DBT or neoplasia. |

ResumenIntroducción: Streptococcus agalactiae (SGB) es un reconocido patógeno asociado a infecciones en recién nacidos y lactantes pequeños, en mujeres gestantes y en puérperas. En los últimos años se ha observado un incremento de infecciones por este agente en pacientes adultos no gestantes, siendo más frecuentes en mayores de 65 años y con alguna comorbilidad.Métodos: estudio retrospectivo y observacional de muestras de pacientes adultos no gestantes analizadas en el laboratorio de Bacteriología del Hospital Nacional de Clínicas de la ciudad de Córdoba, desde enero de 2008 a diciembre de 2017. Se analizó edad y sexo de los pacientes, comorbilidades y tipo de muestra.Resultados: El total de muestras positivas fue de 187, 91 (49%) correspondieron a mujeres y 96 (51%) a varones. La edad media fue de 67 años. De las muestras, orina fue la prevalente con 90 aislamientos (48.1%), seguidas de sangre con 39 (20.8%) y piel y partes blandas con 38 (20.3%). De los 187 adultos, 177 (95%) presentaron al menos una comorbilidad, siendo la más frecuente diabetes, seguida de neoplasias. Sólo 10 (5%) no presentaron comorbilidades.Conclusión: Los hallazgos en nuestro trabajo, como así también los publicados por diversos autores, ponen en evidencia la necesidad de considerar a Streptococcus agalactiae no sólo un patógeno de neonatos y embarazadas, sino también de pacientes adultos mayores y con diferentes comorbilidades, en especial aquellos que padecen DBT o neoplasias.Palabras claves: Streptococcus agalactiae; infecciones estreptocócicas; inmunosupresión; bacteriemia; comorbilidad Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
