Introdução: as unidades de terapia intensiva frequentemente utilizam dispositivos invasivos, como os cateteres, os quais podem desencadear complicações como infecção e outros efeitos colaterais que são de grande importância na terapia clínica. Além disso, os
cateteres venosos utilizados princip...
Background: Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a pollutant that causes deleterious effects on human and environmental health. Certain microbial cultures have shown the ability to degrade MTBE, suggesting that a novel bacterial species capable of degrading MTBE could be recovered. The goal of this study wa...
Abstract Aims We sought to characterize the antibiotic susceptibility of strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from clinical samples, and the role of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia biofilm in antibiotic resistance. Methods Fifty-one clinical Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates were obtained ...
Background In biodegradation processes free enzymes often undergo deactivation. Thus, it is very important to obtain highly stable enzymes by different methods. Immobilization allows for successful stabilization of many multimeric enzymes by increasing the rigidity of the enzyme structure. This study aim...
OBJECTIVE: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic pathogen found predominantly in the enviroment and hospital setting. Invasive procedures and treatment methods, instruments used for diagnosis and irrational antibiotic use play major roles in the spread of this pathogen. The study aimed to eval...
Objetivos: Estudar os fatores de risco associados à aquisição da infecção da corrente sanguínea nosocomial por Stenotrophomonas maltophilia e sua letalidade atribuída, assim como a influência dos critérios de seleção dos grupos controles nos resultados. Casuística e Métodos: Foram realizados...
