Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Brazilian Haemophilus parasuis field isolates

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (11), 2017
Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glässer's disease (GD), an ubiquitous infection of swine characterized by systemic fibrinous polyserositis, polyarthritis and meningitis. Intensive use of antimicrobial agents in swine husbandries during the last years triggered the development of antibio...

Política antimicrobiana. Necesidad imperiosa ante la creciente resistencia microbiana actual
Antimicrobial policy. Imperative need in view of the current increasing microbial resistance

Introducción: Los antimicrobianos constituyen uno de los grupos farmacológicos más utilizados en la práctica clínica y está demostrada su relación con la resistencia microbiana. El uso racional de antibióticos puede producir beneficios desde el punto de vista médico y social, pero su uso en ocas...

Interacciones evolutivas como un posible mecanismo de interacción medicamentosa: una aproximación para el control de la resistencia bacteriana

Rev. chil. infectol; 34 (4), 2017
Resumen En el siglo XXI, la humanidad se encuentra frente a una era post-antibiótica, en la cual es común la aparición de infecciones con una menor o nula alternativa terapéutica. En este contexto, se hace indispensable implementar medidas que optimicen el arsenal terapéutico disponible, generando n...

Presencia de estafilococos coagulasa positiva ambientales, su relación clonal, factores de resistencia y habilidad para formar biopelícula
Presence of environmental coagulase-positive staphylococci, their clonal relationship, resistance factors and ability to form biofilm

Rev. argent. microbiol; 49 (1), 2017
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...

Modulation of drug resistance and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the oral cavity of Tunisian children

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (1), 2017
Abstract Objectives: This study aims to investigate the antimicrobial and the anti-biofilm activities of Lactobacillus plantarum extract (LPE) against a panel of oral Staphylococcus aureus (n = 9) and S. aureus ATCC 25923. The in vitro ability of LPE to modulate bacterial resistance to tetracycline, ben...

Emergence of colistin resistance in the largest university hospital complex of São Paulo, Brazil, over five years

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (1), 2017
Abstract Colistin resistance involving Gram-negative bacilli infections is a challenge for health institutions around of the world. Carbapenem-resistance among these isolates makes colistin the last therapeutic option for this treatment. Colistin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter spp., a...

Secular trends in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in a tertiary-care hospital: increasing prevalence and accelerated decline in antimicrobial susceptibility

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Klebsiella pneumoniae has become an increasingly important etiologic agent of nosocomial infections in recent years. This is mainly due to the expression of virulence factors and development of resistance to several antimicrobial drugs. METHODS This retrospective study examines ...

Resistencia antimicrobiana y epidemiología molecular de aislamientos de Staphylococcus pseudintermedius de muestras clínicas de caninos

Rev. argent. microbiol; 47 (3), 2015
Se estudiaron 28 aislamientos obtenidos de muestras clínicas de perros e identificados por espectrometría de masas (MALDI-TOF) como Staphylococcus pseudintermedius; el objetivo fue evaluar la sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos por el método de difusión y establecer la relación clonal entre aislamien...

Síndrome de Fournier: Reconstrução de bolsa testicular com retalho fasciocutâneo de região interna de coxa

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 30 (2), 2015
INTRODUÇÃO: A síndrome de Fournier é uma infecção multibacteriana de rápida progressão em região perineal. Seu tratamento inclui desbridamento, antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro e terapia com oxigênio em câmara hiperbárica. O desbridamento agressivo tipicamente resulta em perda da cobertur...
