The antimicrobial activity of ephedrine and admixture of ephedrine and propofol: an in vitro study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 68 (1), 2018
Abstract Introduction Propofol and Ephedrine are commonly used during anesthesia maintenance, the former as a hypnotic agent and the later as a vasopressor. The addition of propofol to ephedrine or administration of ephedrine before propofol injection is useful for decreasing or preventing propofol rela...

Formação de biofilmes monotípicos e heterotípicos por Enterococcus faecalis E Enterococcus faecium em dentina radicular

E. faecalis e E. faecium possuem grande relevância nas infecções hospitalares por apresentarem facilidade em adquirir resistência aos antibióticos. E. faecalis também apresentam alta prevalência nas infecções endodônticas, entretanto a importância de E. faecium para a odontologia ainda precisa...

Clonal dissemination of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST412 in a Brazilian region

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) has emerged as an important global nosocomial pathogen, and this trend is associated with the spread of high-risk clones. Here, we determined the genetic and phenotypic features of 93 VREfm isolates that were obtained from patients in 13 hospital...

Evaluación de la herramienta SaTScan-Whonet para la detección precoz de brotes en infecciones bacterianas en una institución de tercer nivel de atención en Colombia

Infectio; 21 (2), 2017
Introducción: Las infecciones asociadas al cuidado de la salud representan un problema de salud pública y la transmisión horizontal supone un incremento en la morbimortalidad y los costos en la atención. La vigilancia activa es costosa y tiene alto riesgo de omitir la detección de brotes, mientras ...

Análisis de 117 episodios de bacteriemia por enterococo: estudio de la epidemiología, microbiología y sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos
Analysis of 117 episodes of enterococcal bacteremia: Study of epidemiology, microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibility

Rev. argent. microbiol; 48 (4), 2016
La bacteriemia por Enterococcus adquirió un papel relevante en los últimos años, debido al incremento de casos intrahospitalarios. Nuestro objetivo fue describir los episodios ocurridos en pacientes adultos de nuestro hospital. Entre enero del 2000 y diciembre del 2013 se registraron 117 episodios. El...

Incidence of virulence determinants in clinical Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolates collected in Bulgaria

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (2), 2016
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of some virulence genes among 510 clinical Enterococcus spp. isolates and to assess the association of those genes with the species, infection site, and patient group (inpatients/outpatients). Methods Adhesins genes (aggregation substances agg and asa1 of ...

Brote de infección por Enterococcus faecium resistentes a glicopéptidos en un hospital de Rosario, Argentina
Infection outbreak due to resistant Enterococcus faecium to glycopeptides in a Hospital of Rosario, Argentina

Enterococci causes serious illness in immunocompromised patients and in severely ill, hospitalized patients. They are commonly isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract, and resistance to vancomycin has increased in frequency during the past few years. We report three cases of nosocomial vancomycin ...

Aislamiento de enterococcus faecium resistente a vancomicina con genotipo vanB en el Hospital Clínico Regional de Concepción
Isolation of vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecium with genotype vanB at the Hospital Clínico Regional de Concepción

Rev. chil. infectol; 19 (1), 2002
La resistencia bacteriana a los agentes antimicrobianos ha aumentado durante las últimas décadas. De particular importancia es la descripción de aislamientos de Enterococcus resistente a vancomicina (EVR), de reciente y progresiva descripción en nuestro país. Comunicamos el aislamiento de dos cepas ...

Puesta al día en aspectos microbiológicos de enterococos
Update on microbiological topics of enterococci

Rev. chil. infectol; 16 (1), 1999
Clinical microbiology laboratories are faced with the challenge of accurate detection of emerging antibiotic resistance among several important gram positive bacterial pahtogens. For enterococci, vancomycin and ampicillin resistance was significantly more prevalent among E. faecium than among E. faecalis...
