Abstract Objective The use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials, such as third and fourth-generation, are responsible for emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in neonatal units. Furthermore, antimicrobial daily doses are not standardized in neonatology. This study aimed to investigate the associa...
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...
Ammonium quaternary compounds are widely used in poultry and swine production as disinfectants in the control of pathogens. They act on gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, enveloped fungi and viruses. However, in some conditions of pH and presence of organic matter can be inactivated. This st...

ABSTRACT Background: Carbapenem-resistance in healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is of great concern, and it is urgent to improve surveillance. We aimed to describe and analyze HCAIs trends on Gram-negative antimicrobial susceptibility in a city from a developing country, following the implementat...

ABSTRACT Objective: To provide an overview of the development of an institution-specific epidemiological antibiogram. Emphasis was on last-line antibiotics, such as carbapenems. Methods: In 2013, the antibiograms of various organisms were retrieved from the computerized database of the Microscan (Sieme...
Las enfermedades infecciosas son un problema de salud que a pesar de los avances médicos siguen cobrando vi-das en todo el mundo; como las septicemias. La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo diseñar, estandarizar e implementar un protocolo inexistente en Guatemala, para el diagnóstico rutinario...
ABSTRACT Objective. To describe bacterial resistance and antimicrobial consumption ratio at the subnational level in Argentina during 2018, considering beta-lactams group as a case-study. Methods. Antimicrobial consumption was expressed as defined daily doses (DDD)/1000 inhabitants. Resistance of Esche...
Objetivo: A internet e os smartphones estão fortemente presentes no cotidiano mundial. Além de proporcionarem comunicação e lazer, os smartphones, por meio de aplicativos, são portas de entrada para as tecnologias da informação e comunicação, recursos utilizados por docentes e discentes como met...
Objective: evaluation of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative microbiota from ready-to-eat cheese samples. Methodology: this research applied an adapted methodology to select from a food sample viable Gram-negative microbiota displaying antibiotic resistance. The selected food was a cheese that is comm...
Azotobacter vinelandii is a gram-negative soil bacterium that produces two biopolymers of biotechnological interest, alginate and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), and it has been widely studied because of its capability to fix nitrogen even in the presence of oxygen. This bacterium is characterized by its high r...
