Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the leading causes bloodstream (BSI) and urinary tract infections (UTI), but limited data available regarding community-acquired (CA) infections. This study characterized clinical aspects CA-BSI CA-UTI caused by K. molecular features isolates, including their resistance profiles. Sixty-five isolates (CA-BSI, n = 24; CA-UTI, 41) underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing, β-lactamase virulence gene assessment, capsular genotyping, typing. Older...
Background: Microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are routinely used for Cryptosporidium diagnosis, without differentiating the parasite species. Methods: Children’s feces were analyzed by modified Ziehl-Neelsen (mZN) ELISA diagnosis polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism species identification. Results: frequency was 2.6%. The sensitivity specificity of 85.7% 99.7%, respectively, with excellent concordance mZN (kappa=0.854). Parasite...
Objetivo: Avaliar a frequência da infecção por SARS-CoV-2 em trabalhadores de uma universidade pública. Métodos: Oitenta e cinco profissionais foram monitorados durante 6 meses para anticorpos IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2. Um questionário foi aplicado coletar informações sobre as características sociodemográficas fatores risco transmissão do SARS-CoV-2. Resultados: A soroprevalência anti-SARS-CoV-2 24,10% (IC 95%, 16,17 - 34,31). persistência dos pelo menos houve tendência queda contra o antígeno...
Vancomycin is used mostly to overcome infections caused by methicillinresistant microorganisms. There are no well-established administration protocols for neonates and infants, so the leak of a specific regime in that population may lead serum concentrations beyond specified range.This case series evaluated pharmacokinetics adjustment from vancomycin therapeutic regimen prescribed infants with bacterial infection at neonatal public hospital intensive- care-unit, primary purpose verify cases...
Vancomycin is the first-line antibiotic used for treatment of staphylococcal infections. Because its narrow therapeutic window and pharmacokinetics variability, vancomycin trough serum concentration should be monitored. However, due to increased cases staphylococcus' commensal species infections case resistance, minimal inhibitory considered on antimicrobial therapy.This article aimed show importance infants therapy as regular criteria.Three in use vancomycin, hospitalized same maternity...
