Introduction. In critically ill patients, the occurrence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a significant concern, given its ability to acquire multidrug-resistant, form biofilms and secrete toxic effectors. Hypothesis or Gap Statement. Brazil, limited data are available regarding prevalence dissemination, impact type III secretion system (T3SS) on toxin production biofilm formation in clinical isolates P. . Aim. This study investigates dissemination virulent...

P21 is a protein secreted by all forms of Trypanosoma cruzi ( T. ) with recognized biological activities determined in studies using the recombinant form protein. In our recent study, we found that ablation gene decreased Y strain axenic epimastigotes multiplication and increased intracellular replication amastigotes HeLa cells infected metacyclic trypomastigotes. present investigated effect vitro C2C12 cell lines tissue culture-derived trypomastigotes (TCT) wild-type knockout (TcP21 −/−...

Introduction: Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a dangerous pathogen causing nosocomial infection, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Brazil. This retrospective study at Brazilian university hospital examined the relationship between antimicrobial use MDR-P. aeruginosa. Methodology: Data was collected from 358 patients with non-repetitive P. infections 2009 to 2019. Antibiotic measured grams expressed as defined daily dose (DDD) per 1000 patient-days for...

Introduction. Efforts to understand the burden of antibiotic use in low- and middle-income countries such as Brazil are essential for developing strategies that effective appropriate context endemic multidrug-resistant organisms. Aim. This study aims determine antimicrobial-prescribing practices among patients hospitalized intensive care units (ICUs) adults Brazil. Methodology. A 1-day point prevalence multicentre survey was conducted 58 adult ICUs across five regions The institutions were...
