ABSTRACT Objectives: Corynebacterium spp. are becoming recognized as pathogens that potentially cause various infections. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics associated with Corynebacterium spp. bacteremia. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all adult...

Os Staphylococcus coagulase-negativos (SCN) são encontrados na pele e mucosas de seres humanos e outros animais, já que algumas espécies são parte constituinte da microbiota normal destes mesmos sítios, e podem constituir um reservatório para SCN. Staphylococcus haemolyticus é a segunda espécie, ...

Contaminated and infected wounds occur very frequently in veterinary medicine and can cause systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and death. This study aimed to test the feasibility of collecting wound material by deep-tissue or punch biopsy for microbial culture, determine the frequency of ba...
Abstract INTRODUCTION In order to detect Trypanosoma cruzi and determine the genetic profiles of the parasite during the chronic phase of Chagas disease (ChD), parasitological and molecular diagnostic methods were used to assess the blood of 91 patients without specific prior treatment. METHODS Blood s...

Introduction: recent literature suggests that excessive use of blood cultures could prolong length of
stay and hospital costs. Moreover, low positive rates have been reported and positivity predictive scores
have recently been proposed. Methods: we conducted an observational prospective study in an Inter...
Objetivo: Avaliar se o método de identificação rápida descrito por Murdoch e Greenleens (2004) utilizando garrafas de cultura de sangue FAN com carvão vegetal se aplica às novas garrafas FAN Plus® com esferas poliméricas adsorventes. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo analítico retrospectivo a fi...
Background: Early inappropriate antibiotic therapy for the management of urosepsis is associated with higher mortality. Therefore, to establish an adequate empirical therapy is crucial. Aim: To determine an optimal antibiotic treatment, adjusted according local bacterial resistance in patients diagnosed...

Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS) is a clinical situation resulting from the invasion andproliferation of bacteria, fungi or viruses in the newborn (NB) bloodstream, which occurs within the first 72hours of life. To determine the diagnostic usefulness of laboratory tests performed on infants with suspic...
Background: Positive blood cultures usually indicate disseminated infection that is associated with a poor prognosis and higher mortality. We seek to develop and validate a predictive model to identify factors associated with positive blood cultures in emergency patients. Methods: Secondary analysis of d...
