1. Antimicrobial susceptibility of Brazilian Clostridium difficile strains determined by agar dilution and disk diffusion
Abstract Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of diarrhea in hospitalized patients worldwide. While metronidazole and vancomycin are the most prescribed antibiotics for the treatment of this infection, teicoplanin, tigecycline and nitazoxanide are alternatives drugs. Knowledge on the antibiotic susceptibility profiles is a basic step to differentiate rec

2. MRSA from Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil: intriguing epidemiological differences compared to other Brazilian regions
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is one of the most frequently isolated agents in both nosocomial and community settings. It is a constant challenge for antibacterial therapy. Therefore, it becomes essential to understand the epidemiology of MRSA isolates in the institution and/or region to guide empirical therapy. The objective of this stud

3. Factors associated with Clostridium difficile diarrhea in a hospital in Beijing, China
Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea in patients treated with antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, and other drugs that alter the normal equilibrium of the intestinal flora. A better understanding of the risk factors for C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD) could be used to reduce the incidence of CDAD and the costs

4. Antimicrobial use, incidence, etiology and resistance patterns in bacteria causing ventilator-associated pneumonia in a clinical-surgical intensive care unit
INTRODUCTION: Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat in hospitalized patients, and inappropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy is known to adversely affect outcomes in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial usage, incidence, etiology, and antimicrobial resistance trends for prominent nosocomial

5. Avaliação terapêutica da formulação vacinal baseada no peptídeo P10 derivado da glicoproteína (gp43) de Paracoccidioides brasiliensis e na flagelina de Salmonella (FliCd). / Therapeutic evaluation of the vaccinal formulation based on P10 peptide from glicoprotein (gp43) of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Salmonella flagelin (FliCd).
Paracoccidioidomicose (PCM) é uma doença granulomatosa sistêmica causada pelo fungo dimórfico Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Aproximadamente 10 milhões de pessoas que vivem em áreas endêmicas estão infectadas com P. brasiliensis e até 2% destas podem desenvolver a PCM. Períodos extensos de quimioterapia são necessários e problemas de recidiva da

6. Clonagem e expressão da glucocerebrosidase humana em células de ovário de hamster chinês (CHO). / Cloning and expression of human glucocerebrosidase in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
Deficiency of the lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GCR) enzyme results in Gauchers disease. Current treatment consists on enzyme replacement therapy by the administration of recombinant GCR produced in CHO cells. However, the medicine available in the market is extremely expensive. In this work, we proposed the cloning and expression of human GCR in CHO cells,

7. Identification, antimicrobial resistance and genotypic characterization of enterococcus spp. isolated in Porto Alegre, Brazil
In the past two decades the members of the genus Enterococcus have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens worldwide. In the present study, we evaluated the antimicrobial resistance and genotypic characteristics of 203 Enterococcus spp. recovered from different clinical sources from two hospitals in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The species were

chemotherapy, are exposed to various damages against their immunity. Neutropenia is one of the most common and is often related to BSI. Recently, the epidemiology of infections in neutropenic patients experienced frequent changes. GNB bloodstream infections have been increasingly involved in therapeutic challenge, due to the increased resistance, difficulty

9. Antimicrobial resistance profiles of enterococci isolated from poultry meat and pasteurized milk in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens with a remarkable capacity of expressing resistance to several antimicrobial agents. Their ubiquitous nature and resistance to adverse environmental conditions take account for their ability to colonize different habitats and for their potential for easy spreading through the food chain. In the present study

10. Heterogeneous resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin among Staphylococcus spp. isolated from bacteremia
This study evaluated the BHIA screening method with 4 or 6 mug/mL of vancomycin to detect glycopeptides heteroresistant staphylococci strains isolated from bacteremia. A total of 213 staphylococci strains were isolated from 106 patients between October/2001 and November/2002 in a tertiary hospital in Rio de Janeiro city. Fifty-seven (53.8%) patients presente

11. Padrões de utilização de antibacterianos em três unidades de terapia intensiva do Distrito Federal
To know the patterns of use of antibacterial agents in the intensive care units (ICU) of the Federal District have been conducted two studies. The first study was retrospective and it was done in a private hospital, from January 2001 to June 2004. There used aggregate data from the electronic files of the hospital pharmacy and all 2890 patients admitted to t

12. Clustering of Enterococcus faecalis infections in a cardiology hospital neonatal intensive care unit
Early identification of an outbreak is one of the main advantages of routine epidemiological surveillance. Enterococcus spp. used to be regarded as microorganisms of low pathogenicity, because they are part of the normal microbial flora of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Recently, they have emerged as important pathogenic agents, sometimes caus
