Estabilidad de muestras de orina para urocultivos recolectados en dispositivos con y sin conservante

Abstract

Antecedentes: Urocultivo es el examen confirmatorio de ITU. La muestra requerida es orina estéril, que debe ser entregada para su procesamiento dentro de las 2 horas de su emisión. Por lo tanto, su recolección, conservación y transporte son críticos para emitir resultados seguros para el diagnóstico de ITU. Objetivos: Determinar la estabilidad de las muestras de orina para urocultivo recolectadas en envases estériles sin conservante, y con aditivo conservante. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo longitudinal en muestras de orina (n=221) colectadas en envases estériles de boca ancha para Urocultivo, para el estudio se obtuvieron 2 alícuotas a su llegada para su evaluación, conservándose en Dispositivo A (envase sin aditivo) refrigerada (4 -8°C) y Dispositivo B (BD Vacutainer Plus Orina C&S Tubo conservante) a temperatura ambiente. Los urocultivos se procesaron en paralelo, en intervalos de tiempos de 2, 4, 8 y 24 horas siguiendo el procedimiento estándar del Servicio de Laboratorio del Hospital Cayetano Heredia. Resultados: Los dispositivos A sin aditivo en refrigeración, mostraron cambios estadísticamente significativos a partir de las 2 horas de conservación; los urocultivos positivos para uropatógenos se incrementaron progresivamente, los urocultivos negativos sin crecimiento migraron hacia el crecimiento contaminante y positivo. En los dispositivos B con conservante mantenidos a temperatura ambiente, los cambios fueron mínimos, sin variación estadísticamente significativa en el número de urocultivos positivos, y negativos durante el periodo de estudio. Conclusión: El uso de dispositivos con aditivos conservantes mantuvo la estabilidad de la muestra de orina para urocultivos hasta por 24 horas a temperatura ambiente.

Background: Urine culture is the confirmatory test for urinary tract infection - UTI. The required sample is sterile urine, which must be delivered for processing within 2 hours of collection. Therefore, its collection, conservation and transport are critical steps to obtain reliable results for UTI diagnosis. Objectives: Determine stability of urine samples collected for urine culture in sterile containers without preservative, and with preservative/additive. Materials and Methods: A longitudinal descriptive study was carried out on urine samples (n=221) collected in sterile wide-mouthed containers for urine culture. For the study, 2 aliquots were obtained upon arrival for evaluation, and kept in: Device A (urine container without additive) refrigerated (4 -8°C) and Device B (BD Vacutainer Plus Urine C&S Preservative Tube) at room temperature. The urine cultures were processed in parallel, at time intervals of 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours, following the standard procedures of Microbiology Department of Cayetano Heredia Hospital. Results: Devices A without additive in refrigeration, showed statistically significant changes after 2 hours of conservation; positive urine cultures for uropathogens increased progressively, negative urine cultures with no growth migrated towards contaminating and positive growth. In devices B with preservative kept at room temperature, the changes were minimal, without statistically significant variation in the number of positive and negative urine cultures during the study period. Conclusion: The use of devices with preservative additives maintained the stability of the urine sample for urine cultures for up to 24 hours at room temperature.
