Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health problem and a principal threat to contemporary medicine. A fundamental principle of controlling antimicrobial resistance are antimicrobial drug stewardship programs, which seeks to preserve the future effectiveness of antimicrobials and improve patient ou...
Proteus species are found in the human intestinal tract as part of normal flora. Proteus species are also found in multiple environmental habitats, including long-term care facilities and hospitals, and can cause both community and nosocomial infections. For a long time Proteus was known to be susceptibl...

BACKGROUND The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is frequently observed in Acinetobacter baumannii, the most clinically relevant pathogenic species of its genus; recently, other species belonging to the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex have emerged as important MDR nosocomial pathogens. OBJECTI...
Partiendo de una viñeta clínica la autora plantea el siguiente interrogante: ¿En pacientes mayores de 65 años con diag-nóstico probable de bronquitis aguda, el uso de antibióticos produce mejora en algún parámetro clínico?Luego de realizar una busqueda bibliográfica se resumen la evidencia publ...

Las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) son una causa común de infección intrahospitalaria(1).
Se define como una infección relacionada con un procedimiento quirúrgico aquella que ocurre
en o cerca de la incisión quirúrgica dentro de los 30 días del procedimiento o dentro de 90 días
si se imp...
Coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) are opportunistic pathogens carrying various mechanisms of resistance that have a large number of virulence factors, and whose ability to induce illness is associated with the host. This study aimed to investigate the presence of environmental coagulase-positive st...
Antibiotic resistance results in higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays and increased mortality and is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. Therefore, this study aims to search for new antimicrobial agents through bioprospecting of extracts of endophytic fungi from Bauhini...
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are a common cause of bovine subclinical mastitis (SCM). The prevalence of CNS species causing SCM identified by genotyping varies among countries. Overall, the antimicrobial resistance in this group of organisms is increasing worldwide; however, little information ...
Enterococos são ubíquos no ambiente e fazem parte da microbiota do trato gastrintestinal de humanos e animais. A importância dessas bactérias tem sido associada com infecções hospitalares e resistência a múltiplas drogas, principalmente à vancomicina. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar a...
Introducción: el creciente hallazgo de cepas de Mycobacterium tuberculosis multidrogorresistentes extremadamente resistentes ratifica la importancia de ofrecer, de forma rápida, los resultados de susceptibilidad de M. tuberculosis a drogas de primera y segunda línea como única alternativa para evitar...
