ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Staphylococcus aureus es un patógeno importante responsable de una variedad de enfermedades infecciosas. La emergencia de cepas resistentes a la meticilina es un tema preocupante. Existen escasos estudios que hayan reportado la resistencia de cepas aisladas de la cavidad bucal. Determinar la sensibilidad antimicrobiana de cepas de Staphylococcus aureus aisladas de mucosa bucal de portadores asintomáticos jóvenes peruanos. Se incluyeron 64 individuos a quienes se tomaron muestras de mucosa oral, mucosa nasal y de manos. Las muestras fueron cultivadas en agar manitol salado. La prueba coagulasa fue empleada para confirmar la presencia de Staphylococcus aureus. Luego se realizó el antibiograma usando el método de Kirby-Bauer. La prevalencia de colonias positivas de S. aureus provenientes de la mucosa oral, mucosa nasal y de la palma de la mano fue 7,8 %, 15,6 % y 50,0 %, respectivamente. En todas las muestras, se observaron una prevalencia de sensibilidad menor de 40 % y 11 % a la eritromicina y penicilina, respectivamente. Las colonias de la mucosa oral mostraron resistencia a la penicilina. En todas las muestras, se observó una prevalencia de sensibilidad ³ 60% en amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico, co-trimoxazol, gentamicina, oxacilina, ciprofloxacino, vancomicina y ampicilina/sulbactam. Se encontró resistencia a vancomicina en un 10 - 20 % de todas las muestras. Se encontró una alta prevalencia en la sensibilidad a amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico, gentamicina, cotrimoxazol, oxacilina, ciprofloxacino y ampicilina/sulbactam. Se encontró un elevado porcentaje de resistencia a la vancomicina en muestras de mucosa oral en comparación a otros estudios.


ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen responsible for a variety of infectious diseases. The increase of resistant strains is an issue of concern. There are very few studies reporting the resistant strains isolated from oral cavity. Aim: To determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from oral mucosa of Peruvian young healthy carriers. The study included 64 healthy individuals whose oral mucosa, nasal mucosa and hand swabs were collected and seeded in salt mannitol agar for primary isolation. Then, coagulase test was performed to confirm the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. After that, colonies of Staphylococcus aureus underwent antibiogram by using the Kirby Bauer method. The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus positive strains isolated from oral mucosa, nasal mucosa, and hand, was 7.8 %, 15.6 %, 50.0 %, respectively. There was less than 40 % and 11 % of prevalence of susceptibility to erythromycin and penicillin, respectively, in the three studied samples. There was equal or more than 60% of prevalence of susceptibility to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin and ampicillin/sulbactam in all the studied samples. Vancomycin resistance was found in 10 - 20 % of all samples. A high prevalence in susceptibility to amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin and ampicillin /sulbactam in healthy carriers was found. Vancomycin resistance percentage is higher than previous reports.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el efecto antibacteriano in vitro de la oleorresina de Copaifera reticulata (C. reticulata) "copaiba" y del aceite esencial de Oreganum majoricum (O. majoricum) "orégano" frente a Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) y Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Se desarrollaron pruebas de sensibilidad activando primero las cepas bacterias a enfrentar. La oleorresina de copaiba fue diluida con dimetilsulfósido (DMSO), obteniéndose al final concentraciones a probar de 100 %, 50 %, 25 %, y 12,5 %. En relación al aceite esencial de orégano este se probó solamente al 100 %. Para la prueba de difusión en agar con discos, se tomaron inóculos 100 µL de cada cepa bacteriana a una turbidez de 0,5 de Mc Farlam, para ser sembrados por diseminación en placas de tripticasa soya agar, para luego colocar los discos de forma equidistante cargados con las diferentes concentraciones de los productos naturales, se utilizaron como control positivo a la clorhexidina al 0,12 % y al DMSO como control negativo. Se incubaron las placas por el método de la vela en extinción a 37 °C, por un periodo de 24 horas, pasado el tiempo se realizó la lectura de los halos de inhibición. Los resultados obtenidos por la copaiba, determinaron un efecto antibacteriano en sus cuatro concentraciones, siendo los mayores halos de inhibición a la concentración del 100 %, copaiba genero mayores halos promedios para S, mutans de 30,00 ± 0,00 mm y para E. faecalis de 8,3 ± 0,50 mm. Para el caso del orégano se producen halos a la concentración del 100 % con un promedio de 25,3 ± 0,96 mm para S. mutans y para E. faecalis de 9,5 ± 1,29 mm. Se concluye del estudio que tanto copaiba como el orégano presentan un efecto antibacteriano para ambas bacterias, siendo su mayor efecto antibacteriano para ambos productos naturales sobre S. mutans.


ABSTRACT: The objective of the study was to determine the in vitro antibacterial effect of the oleoresin of Copaifera reticulata (C. reticulata) "copaiba" and of the essential oil of Oreganum majoricum (O. majoricum) "oregano" against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Sensitivity tests were developed by first activating the bacteria strains to be confronted. The oleoresin of copaiba was diluted with dimethylsulphoside (DMSO), obtaining final concentrations to be tested of 100 %, 50 %, 25 %, and 12.5 %. In relation to the essential oil of oregano, it was only 100 % tested. For the disk agar diffusion test, 100 mL of each bacterial strain was taken at a turbidity of 0.5 of Mc Farlam, to be planted by dissecting trypticase soy agar plates, and then placing the disks equidistantly loaded with the different concentrations of natural products; 0.12 % chlorhexidine was used as a positive control and DMSO as negative control. The plates were incubated by the candle method in extinction at 37 °C, for a period of 24 hours, after which time the inhibition halos were read. The results obtained by the copaiba, determined an antibacterial effect in its four concentrations, being the biggest halos of inhibition at the concentration of 100 %, copaiba genus higher average halos for S. mutans of 30.00 ± 0.00 mm and for E. faecalis of 8.3 ± 0.50 mm. In the case of oregano, haloes are produced at a concentration of 100 % with an average of 25.3 ± 0.96 mm for S. mutans and for E. faecalis 9.5 ± 1.29 mm. It is concluded from the study that both copaiba and oregano present an antibacterial effect for both bacteria, being its greater antibacterial effect for both natural products on S. mutans.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de portadores asintomáticos de Streptococcus pyogenes y Streptococcus pneumoniae en estudiantes de Odontología de la Universidad San Martin de Porres. Material y Método: Se tomaron 64 muestras mediante hisopado faríngeo las que fueron sembradas en Agar sangre de carnero con gentamicina para aislamiento de la flora alfa hemolítica y con sulfametoxazol para los beta hemolíticos, las que fueron incubadas a 35 grados C por 48 horas. Posteriomente se realizaron pruebas de sensibilidad con optoquina y bacitracina para detectar Streptococcus pneumoniae y Streptococcus pyogenes, respectivamente. Adicionalmente se realizó la prueba de solubilidad en bilis con las cepas alfa hemolíticas para verificar la presencia de neumococos. Resultados: De la muestra estudiada, el 48,43% correspondió a portadores de Streptococcus pneumoniae, alcanzando el sexo femenino un mayor porcentaje (64,51%) mientras que el 6,25% de la muestra fue portador de Streptococcus pyogenes, en el cual también predominó el sexo femenino con un 75%.Conclusiones: La prevalencia de portación asintomática de Streptococcus pneumoniae fue de 48,43% y de Streptococcus pyogenes de 6,25% en los estudiantes, valor significativo que indica el riesgo de presentar las infecciones asociadas a estas especies o de transmitirlas a personas inmunocomprometidas.


Objective: To determine the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae in San Martin de Porres Universitys dentistry students. Materials and Methods: Sixty four samples were taken using a pharyngeal swab; they were cultured in sheep blood agar with gentamicine in order to isolate alpha hemolytic bacteria and with sulfamethoxazole in order to isolate beta hemolytic bacteria. These were incubated at 35 grados C for 48hrs. Subsequently, optoquin and bacitracine tests were used to detect Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes respectively. Additionally, the bile solubility test was performed for alpha hemolytic strains to verify the presence of pneumococcus. Results: Of the studied sample, 48.43% corresponded to carriers of Streptococcus pneumoniae, reaching the female sex a major percentage (64.51 %) than the masculine sex. Another 6.25% of the sample was a carrier of Streptococcus pyogenes in which also the female sex predominated with 75 % of the positive results. Conclusions: The prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae carrier state was 48.43 % and of Streptococcus pyogenes 6.25 % in the students. This significant value indicates a risk of presenting infections associated with these species or of infecting immunocompromised individuals.

ABSTRACT

Hemolytic activity of eight Peruvian snake venoms from the families Viperidae and Elapidae (Bothrops atrox, B. pictus, B. hyoprorus, B. bilineatus, B. neuwedii, Lachesis m. muta, Crotalus d. terrificus, Microrus tschudi), and three Brazilian viperids (B. jararacussu, B. alternatus and C. d. collilineatus) is described. None of the venoms cause direct lysis on washed human erythrocytes. However, all of then caused indirect hemolysis provided that the incubation medium contains an exogenous source of lecithin. Venom of Micrurus tschudi was the most hemolytic (HD50 2.8 ug/ml) while that of B. bilineatus was the least (HD50 681.3 ug/ml). Only six of eleven venoms showed parallel curves of hemolytic activity, and the HD50 varied from 198 to 681 ug/ml and the following decreasing order of hemolytic activity was obtained: L. muta, C. d. terrificus, C. d. collilineatus, B. hyoprorus, B. bilineatus, B. alternatus
