A terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana (TFDa) tem sido considerada uma alternativa para o tratamento de infecções cutâneas causadas por Acinetobacter baumannii. Entretanto, é necessária a busca por fotossensibilizadores ou compostos que potencializem seus efeitos. Os objetivos desse estudo foram tes...
Resumen Introducción: La resistencia a carbapenémicos en bacilos gramnegativos es un problema de salud pública mundial, debido a que se asocia con altas tasas de mortalidad, aumento en los niveles de resistencia a otros antimicrobianos, elevación en el potencial de diseminación e incremento en los c...
Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência e o perfil de suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos das
cepas de Acinetobacter baumannii e Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoladas de amostras de
lavado traqueal. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, transversal, descritivo,
no qual foram coletados resultados de cultur...
Background and Objectives: carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii has reached extremely high levels worldwide, and class D OXA-type carbapenemases are the main associated mechanism. This study aimed to assess the phenotypic and molecular profile of clinical carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CR...
Objetivo: verificar a demanda de hemoculturas, aspirados traqueais e uroculturas realizadas no HU-UNIVASF/ EBSERH e a prevalência dos microrganismos identificados no período de janeiro a junho de 2016. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo documental com abordagem quantitativa. Resultados: o setor de microbio...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: In this study, we report a clonal dissemination of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates due to the acquisition of blaOXA-23 in a regional hospital located in Brazilian Amazon Region. METHODS: The isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF and the carbapenemase-encod...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the role of genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs) and 16S rRNA methylase (ArmA) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. METHODS: We collected 100 clinical isolates of A. baumannii and identified and confirmed them using micro...
Drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a frightening reality. The aim of this study is to examine the expression profiles of blaOXA-51 gene in carbapenemases producing A. baumannii treated with imipenem/sulbactam combination. Carbapenemases producing A. baumannii was identified among clinical isolates...
Background: Globally,the need to address strategies for preventing infections associated with health care has increased worldwide. In the city of Valledupar, Colombia, reports of bacteria resistant to chemical or enzymatic biocides in hospital environments and surfaces are increasingly frequent, evidenci...
