Our purposes in this study were to (1) identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains collected from swabs of chronic wounds, (2) evaluate the susceptibility P. various antimicrobials, (3) detect presence virulence factors exoenzyme S (exoS) and U (exoU) strains, (4) wound colonization by via pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Descriptive research using a quantitative approach.Swabs 43 adults with wounds treated an outpatient setting Niterói City, Brazil, included convenience sampling.Swabs at...
Carbapenem-resistance is a great challenge for antimicrobial therapy in Pseudomonas aeruginosa multidrug-resistant infections, as it reduces therapeutic options. This study investigated carbapenem-resistance mechanisms six strains of non-carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa. Minimal inhibitory concentrations imipenem and meropenem were determined by epsilometric test broth microdilution. Mutations the oprD gene PCR, followed sequencing. Transcriptional levels oprD, ampC, efflux pumps genes...
Leptospirosis diagnosis by MAT requires antibody levels that are typically present only after the first week of symptoms, many days infection. To improve testing capacity and to develop a fast reliable solution for this disease in few clinical manifestations, National Reference Laboratory Leptospirosis/WHO Collaborating Center Brazil implemented duplex molecular method qPCR human samples detection gene lipL32, conserved pathogenic Leptospira spp. In paper, we describe overall performance...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa é um dos patógenos mais frequentes em infecções acometendo pacientes queimados, tendo como importante determinante de patogenicidade sua capacidade formar biofilmes. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a eficácia das soluções biocidas: clorexidina 4%, hipoclorito sódio 1%, peróxido hidrogênio 5% e álcool 70% na remoção biofilmes P. multidroga resistentes. Trata-se estudo descritivo abordagem quantitativa. Foram avaliados nove cepas aeruginosa, diferentes tipos...
