Evaluation of in vitro activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam against recent clinical bacterial isolates from Brazil - the EM200 study

Braz. j. infect. dis; 24 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: The emergence of antibiotic resistance is increasing and there are few effective antibiotics to treat infections caused by resistant and multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam against clinical bacterial i...

Evaluation of drug susceptibility profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 1 from Brazil based on whole genome sequencing and phenotypic methods

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND The evaluation of procedures for drug susceptibility prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on genomic data against the conventional reference method test based on culture is realistic considering the scenario of growing number of tools proposals based on whole-genome sequences (WGS)....

Genomic analysis of Latin American-Mediterranean family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical strains from Kazakhstan

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
The human-adapted strains of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) comprise seven phylogenetic lineages originally associated with their geographical distribution. Here, we report the genomes of three drug-resistant clinical isolates of the Latin American-Mediterranean (LAM) family collected in K...

Evaluación de la sensibilidad de cepas de Pseudomonas aeruginosa multi-resistentes frente a ceftolozano/tazobactam

Rev. chil. infectol; 36 (5), 2019
Resumen Introducción: Pseudomonas aeruginosa es un patógeno oportunista asociado a alta morbi-mortalidad. Para cepas multi-resistentes (MDR), ceftolozano/tazobactam (CTZ) se ha autorizado por la Agencia Europea del Medicamento (EMA) para infecciones del tracto urinario complicadas, pielonefritis aguda...

Staphylococcus aureus in tonsils of patients with recurrent tonsillitis: prevalence, susceptibility profile, and genotypic characterization

Braz. j. infect. dis; 23 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: Bacterial tonsillitis is an upper respiratory tract infection that occurs primarily in children and adolescents. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequent pathogens in the etiology of tonsillitis and its relevance is due to its antimicrobial resistance and persistence in t...

Temporal evolution of antimicrobial resistance among Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolates in the most populated South American Metropolitan Region

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
A total of 124 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates recovered during a 12-year period (2003-2015) from outpatients assisted at Centro de Referência e Treinamento DST/AIDS-CRT of São Paulo city, Brazil, were analysed. The following resistance rates were observed: penicillin-59.6%, ciprofloxacin-15.3%, and azi...
