Resumen: Objetivo: Describir la tendencia de cepas multidrogorresistentes (MDR) aisladas en hemocultivos de pacientes con cáncer durante el periodo de 2005 a 2015. Material y métodos: Análisis retrospectivo en el que se procesaron 33 127 hemocultivos. La identificación y la sensibilidad antimicro...
Resumen Introducción: Campylobacter es un importante agente de diarrea en el ser humano. En Ecuador, la información sobre Campylobacter es escasa y no existen antecedentes de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana. Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de Campylobacter en niños con diarrea y su comportamiento ...
RESUMO O conceito de traqueobronquite associada à ventilação mecânica é controverso, e sua definição não é unanimemente aceita, sobrepondo-se, muitas vezes, à da pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica. A traqueobronquite associada à ventilação mecânica tem incidência semelhante à d...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Biofilm production is an important mechanism for the survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its relationship with antimicrobial resistance represents a challenge for patient therapeutics. P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen frequently associated to nosocomial infections, es...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli, a species that is a leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and is a major global public health concern. This study was designed to detect the differences in antibiotic resistance patterns, the production and type of extended sp...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Here, we determined the genes encoding antibiotic resistance enzymes and virulence factors and evaluated the genetic relationship between Enterobacter spp. isolated from different clinical samples. METHODS: A total of 57 clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. were tested for th...
Abstract: Objective: To compare the genetic determinants involved in plant colonization or virulence in the reported genomes of K. variicola, K. quasipneumoniae and K. pneumoniae. Materials and methods: In silico comparisons and Jaccard analysis of genomic data were used. Fimbrial genes were detected...
Abstract: Objective: To describe the distribution of pneumococcal serotypes causing infectious diseases in patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors and their antimicrobial susceptibility before and after introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in Mexico. Materials and me...
