Resistencia bacteriana en antibióticos usados en odontología

ABSTRACT Bacterial resistance has become a severe global problem. According to the World Health Organization, it is one of the most significant health threats, so it is necessary to stop the development of this defense mechanism of microorganisms. The objective of this study is to investigate bacterial resistance in antibiotics used in dentistry, delving into their mechanism of action. This research project is a literature review because it was based on analyzing and interpreting information from documents published in indexed journals. It was based on documentary sources in reliable digital databases, such as PudMed, Google Scholar, and Elsevier, of the last ten years. A total of 169 articles were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then 132 were selected based on the average ACC citation count index greater than 1.5, and the sample consisted of 110 publications that met the impact factor detected by the Scimago Journal Ranking. The results of the literature reviewed show that the leading cause of the increase in resistance is the excessive use of antibiotics, since when drugs are used in a disorderly manner, bacterial organisms become more resistant, causing infections that are more complicated to treat. The most commonly used antibiotics in dentistry are Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, Dicloxacillin, Ampicillin, Doxycycline, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Sulbactam, Penicillin, and Gentamicin. However, their efficacy cannot be attributed to the treatment of all odontogenic infections. In conclusion, bacteria try to survive just like other beings, and in the face of antibiotics, they join together, sharing their genetic material to overcome the action of the drugs.
