The microbiological diagnosis. Its importance in surgical infections

Rev. cuba. reumatol; 20 (3), 2018
Introducción: Se ha calculado una prevalencia total de infección de la herida quirúrgica del 5 al 10 por ciento. Objetivo: Resumir los principales elementos que definen el diagnóstico microbiológico y su importancia en las infecciones quirúrgicas, así como analizar aquellos factores que favorec...

Changes in antimicrobial susceptibility of commonly clinically significant isolates before and after the interventions on surgical prophylactic antibiotics (SPAs) in Shanghai

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract Surveillances and interventions on antibiotics use have been suggested to improve serious drug-resistance worldwide. Since 2007, our hospital have proposed many measures for regulating surgical prophylactic antibiotics (carbapenems, third gen. cephalosporins, vancomycin, etc.) prescribing practi...

Introducción. La infección es de las complicaciones más frecuentes de los sistemas de derivación ventricular de líquido cefalorraquídeo. El objetivo fue describir las características clínicas, microbiológicas y evolutivas de niños con infección asociada a sistemas de derivación ventricular de...

Non-viral microbial keratitis in adults: clinical and laboratory aspects

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract This study compares patients with and without non-viral microbial keratitis in relation to sociodemographic variables, clinical aspects, and involved causative agent. Clinical aspects, etiology and therapeutic procedures were assessed in patients with and without keratitis that were diagnosed in...

Etiologic role of root canal infection in apical periodontitis and its relationship with clinical symptomatology

Braz. oral res. (Online); 32 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract: Evidence shows the polymicrobial etiology of endodontic infections, in which bacteria and their products are the main agents for the development, progression, and dissemination of apical periodontitis. Microbial factors in necrotic root canals (e.g., endotoxin) may spread into apical tissue, ev...

Perfil microbiológico de infecciones urinarias asociadas a cateterismo permanente en el Hospital de Talca

Rev. méd. Maule; 33 (1), 2017
Urinary tract infection associated to permanent catheterization is the most frequent infection associated to health care. Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem, thus it is important to know the local pathogenic agents, their resistance and sensibility profiles to use an optimal treatment. OBJECT...

Microbiological testing of devices used in maintaining peripheral venous catheters

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the use of peripheral venous catheters based on microbiological analysis of devices (dressing and three-way stopcocks) and thus contribute to the prevention and infection control. Methods: this was a prospective study of microbiological analysis of 30 three-way stopcocks...

Culture-dependent approaches to explore the prevalence of root canal pathogens from endodontic infections

Abstract: Endodontic infections are considered to be caused by the presence of various microorganisms within the root canal system. Recognition of this microbiota contributes to the successful treatment of infected root canals. This study investigated the microorganisms associated with primary and second...
