This article is the result of a systematization of the mediations of theory and practice in the Didactic discipline of Visual Arts at the University of the Arts. This investigation valued the importance of an experience where the didactic procedure with the artistic images and the work with the works carried out by the students resulted in a practice that was shown in its continuity and in a process where it was exposed how to work with the images, they are the result of teaching and learning, and that this implies, in turn, recognizing within these, artistic or not, those produced by students as a result of their symbolic projects. With the proposal of the triangular approach as a theoretical foundation, it was argued that all artistic practice in its materialization lectures, in the first place, to those who perform it and, therefore, it is considered that all experience with art contains a good part of formative practice.

Este artículo es el resultado de una sistematización de las mediaciones de la teoría y la práctica en la disciplina Didáctica de las Artes Visuales en la Universidad de las Artes. Esta indagación valoró la importancia de una experiencia donde el proceder didáctico con las imágenes artísticas y el trabajo con las obras realizadas por los estudiantes resultó en una práctica que se mostró en su continuidad y en un proceso donde se expuso cómo trabajar con las imágenes, de manera que sean fruto de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, y que esto implicara, a su vez, reconocer dentro de ellas, artísticas o no, las que producen los estudiantes como resultado de sus proyectos simbólicos. Con la propuesta del abordaje triangular como fundamento teórico, se argumentó que toda práctica artística en su materialización alecciona, en primer lugar, a quienes la realizan y, por tanto, se considera que toda experiencia con el arte contiene buena parte de práctica formativa.

ABSTRACT The spread of pandemic Staphylococcus aureus clones, mainly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), must be kept under surveillance to assemble an accurate, local epidemiological analysis. In Ecuador, the prevalence of the USA300 Latin American variant clone (USA300-LV) is well known; however, there is little information about other circulating clones. The aim of this work was to identify the sequence types (ST) using a Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis 14-locus genotyping approach. We analyzed 132 S. aureus strains that were recovered from 2005 to 2013 and isolated in several clinical settings in Quito, Ecuador. MRSA isolates composed 46.97% (62/132) of the study population. Within MRSA, 37 isolates were related to the USA300-LV clone (ST8-MRSA-IV, Panton-Valentine Leukocidin [PVL] +) and 10 were related to the Brazilian clone (ST239-MRSA-III, PVL−). Additionally, two isolates (ST5-MRSA-II, PVL−) were related to the New York/Japan clone. One isolate was related to the Pediatric clone (ST5-MRSA-IV, PVL−), one isolate (ST45-MRSA-II, PVL−) was related to the USA600 clone, and one (ST22-MRSA-IV, PVL−) was related to the epidemic UK-EMRSA-15 clone. Moreover, the most prevalent MSSA sequence types were ST8 (11 isolates), ST45 (8 isolates), ST30 (8 isolates), ST5 (7 isolates) and ST22 (6 isolates). Additionally, we found one isolate that was related to the livestock associated S. aureus clone ST398. We conclude that in addition to the high prevalence of clone LV-ST8-MRSA-IV, other epidemic clones are circulating in Quito, such as the Brazilian, Pediatric and New York/Japan clones. The USA600 and UK-EMRSA-15 clones, which were not previously described in Ecuador, were also found. Moreover, we found evidence of the presence of the livestock associated clone ST398 in a hospital environment.
