Prevalence of antibiotic resistance and virulent factors in nosocomial clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Panamá

Braz. j. infect. dis; 25 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important causative agent of nosocomial infections. As pathogen, P. aeruginosa is of increasing clinical importance due to its ability to develop high-level multidrug resistance (MDR). Methods: The aim of the present study was to better understand the i...

Molecular epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from lower respiratory tract of ICU patients

Braz. j. biol; 81 (2), 2021
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common infection among hospitalized patients, associated with increased levels of morbidity, mortality and attributable health care costs. Increased resistant Pseudomonas worldwide has been quite meaningful to patien...

Brote en simultáneo de Pseudomona aeruginosa y Klebsiella pneumoniae BLEE en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal de Asunción, Paraguay
Simultaneous outbreak of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and ESBL producing-Klebsiella Pneumoniae in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Asunción, Paraguay

Las Infecciones Asociadas a las Atenciones Sanitarias (IAAS), constituyen un serio problema de salud pública. Se describe un brote de IAAS en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales de Asunción y las medidas de control implementadas. Estudio descriptivo de serie de casos, entre el 26 de marzo y el...

Prevalence of metallo-β-lactamase-encoding genes among carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from burn patients in Iran

Abstract Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) has been considered a major cause of infection and mortality in burn patients, especially in developing countries such as Iran. One of the most common mechanisms of carbapenem resistance is production of metallo-β-lactamases [(MBLs), includ...

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: association with virulence genes and biofilm formation

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes frequently nosocomial infections, currently becoming more difficult to treat due to the various resistance mechanisms and different virulence factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors independently associa...

The role of gyrA and parC mutations in fluoroquinolones-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Iran

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to examine mutations in the quinolone-resistance-determining region (QRDR) of gyrA and parC genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. A total of 100 clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from different university-affiliated hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. Minimum in...

Aerobacterias en las unidades de cuidado intensivo del Hospital Universitario Fernando Troconis, Colombia
Air bacteria existing in the intensive care units of Fernando Troconis university hospital in Colombia

Introducción: las infecciones nosocomiales se consideran un importante problema de salud. Los agentes patógenos frecuentemente responsables de estas infecciones son Pseudomonas spp. y Staphylococcus spp., patógenos que pueden estar presente en los bioaerosoles en hospitales. Objetivo: valorar la prese...

Infecciones en cirugía de artroplastía de cadera: resultados del sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica de las infecciones intrahospitalarias: 1996-1999
Infections in hip arthroplasty: results of the nosocomial infections surveillance system, Chile 1996-1999

Rev. chil. infectol; 17 (2), 2000
La vigilancia epidemiológica de las infecciones en cirugía de prótesis se estableció en los hospitales chilenos a partir de 1996. Entre 1996 y 1999 se notificaron 134 infecciones de 3,5 porciento. La vigilancia epidemiológica en Chile no diferencia infecciones de la herida operatoria de las de impla...
