Intoxication is a serious public health problem worldwide and in the case of heavy metal intoxication, presence increase these elements environment can be an aggravating factor, for example, after collapse mining dams. In this context, objective study was to analyze epidemiological profile intoxication before rupture Fundão Mina Córrego do Feijão dams state Minas Gerais, Brazil, verify possible relation cases disasters. Data were collected through Notifiable Diseases Information System...
Class 1 integrons are among the main vehicles that facilitate spread of antibiotic-resistance genes, with serious public health consequences. The aim this cross-sectional study was to investigate presence class and characterize their variable regions, as well antimicrobial resistance profiles phylogenetic groups a collection Escherichia coli isolates recovered from healthy subjects (n=42) those urinary infection (n=40).The methods used included PCR, sequencing susceptibility testing.PCR...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance determinants. Although many studies have been conducted to evaluate profiles in Enterobacteriaceae isolates from this setting, the dynamics phenomenon are poorly known bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here we aimed and production AmpC β-lactamase P. aeruginosa a domestic full-scale WWTP. Samples raw sewage effluent were collected was isolated on cetrimide agar. Susceptibility β-lactams,...
In this study, we investigated the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes among 101 ciprofloxacin-resistant urinary Escherichia coli isolates and searched for mutations in quinolone-resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) DNA gyrase topoisomerase IV PMQR-carrying isolates. Eight harboured qnr aac(6')-Ib-cr (3 qnrS1, 1 qnrB19 4 aac(6')-Ib-cr). A mutational analysis QRDRs aac(6')-Ib-cr-positive revealed gyrA, parC parE that might be associated with high levels to...
Bacteria are assumed to efficiently remove organic pollutants from sewage in treatment plants, where antibiotic-resistance genes can move between species via mobile genetic elements known as integrons. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed bacterial diversity and class 1 integron abundance tropical sewage. Here, we describe the extant microbiota, using V6 tag sequencing, quantify integron-integrase gene (intI1) raw (RS) activated sludge (AS). The analysis of 1,174,486 quality-filtered...
Considering the clinical importance of biofilm in medical devices and chronic infections, this study aimed to investigate action polymyxin B on Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) biofilm. The experiments were performed using a formation assay interaction polysorbate 80 was explored. Both inhibition reduction pre-formed occurred concentration-dependent manner with as high 56 64%, 70 66%, without polysorbate, respectively. addition enhances reduction, but more studies are needed elucidate...
Abstract One of the main micropollutants reported in river water is mercury (Hg), a heavy metal toxic to human and animal organisms that can promote bacterial resistance antimicrobials used clinical practice. Having done this consideration, monitoring concentration Hg an important indicator physical-chemical microbiological quality water. Thus, study, was determined using new spectrophotometric method samples recovered from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Furthermore, diversity antimicrobial...
