Introduction:

The microbiological map allows us to know from a particular infectious situation to the epidemiology of the entire institution regarding infections, as well as therapeutic options.

Objectives:

To create a database that groups the results of microorganisms isolated in the laboratory and their susceptibility (according to the antibiogram), capable of grouping queries and accounts based on search criteria.

Methods:

A database was created using Microsoft Access, and the information was organized using SQL and VBA programming languages, through queries and forms.

Results:

Tables, consultations and forms were obtained to provide information according to the requirements of the laboratory and the service that requests it.

Conclusions:

The software offers a solution to access information digitally, quickly, accurately, and safely. Data recording is the only manual procedure, thus minimizing the days dedicated to the development of the final report. The use of the microbiological map using Microsoft Access is suggested as a tool in microbiology laboratories.
