ABSTRACT

El análisis de espectrometría de masas mediante la metodología hoy conocida como MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-assited laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry) se ha convertido en un recurso de referencia para la identificación de microorganismos en microbiología clínica. No obstante, los datos relativos a algunos grupos de microorganismos son todavía controvertidos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la utilidad del MALDI-TOF MS para la identificación de aislamientos clínicos de bacterias anaerobias. Se analizaron 106 aislamientos de bacterias anaerobias mediante MALDI-TOF MS y por pruebas bioquímicas convencionales. En aquellos casos en los que la identificación por metodología convencional no era aplicable o frente a una discordancia de resultados entre las metodologías citadas, se realizó la secuenciación del gen 16S del ARNr. El método convencional y el MALDI-TOF MS coincidieron a nivel de género y especie en un 95,3 % de los casos considerando la totalidad de los aislamientos estudiados. Al considerar solo el conjunto de los bacilos gram negativos, la coincidencia fue del 91,4 %; entre los bacilos gram positivos, fue del 100 %; los 8 aislados de cocos gram positivos estudiados coincidieron y también hubo coincidencia en el único coco gram negativo incluido. Los datos obtenidos en este estudio demuestran que el MALDI-TOF MS ofrece la posibilidad de llegar a una adecuada identificación de bacterias anaerobias


The analysis by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-assited laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry) has become a reference method for the identification of microorganisms in Clinical Microbiology. However, data on some groups of microorganisms are still controversial. The aim of this study is to determine the utility of MALDI-TOF MS for the identification of clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria. One-hundred and six anaerobic bacteria isolates were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and by conventional biochemical tests. In those cases where identification by conventional methodology was not applicable or in the face of discordance between sequencing methodologies, 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis was performed. The conventional method and MALDI-TOF MS agreed at genus and species level by 95.3 %. Concordance in gram-negative bacilli was 91.4% and 100% among gram-positive bacilli; there was also concordance both in the 8 isolates studied in gram-positive cocci and in the single gram-negative cocci included. The data obtained in this study demonstrate that MALDI-TOF MS offers the possibility of adequate identification of anaerobic bacteria

ABSTRACT

A total of 206 gram negative anaerobic bacilli were isolated from 2591 routine clinical specimens. Majority of them (78.2%) were part of a mixed flora. A high incidence of gram negative anaerobic bacilli was found in post-operative wound infections and diabetic foot infections (30.1%), followed by necrotizing fasciitis and crush injuries (18%), pus of empyema and lung abscesses (14.5%) and aspirates from other deep abscesses (10.7%). Bacteroides fragilis was the most frequently recognized species (42.2%), followed by Fusobacterium sp. (17.4%), Prevotella sp. (15.1%) and Porphyromonas sp. (11.2%). Neomycin blood agar plate yielded the maximum number (72.8%) of strains in pure culture. Gram negative anaerobic bacilli in infective processes are significantly on the rise and so suspected cultures should be processed for both aerobic and anaerobic organisms.

ABSTRACT

Crianças portadoras de fissura de lábio e palato apresentam alteraçöes anatômicas decorrentes da própria anomalia e dos procedimentos terapêuticos para a sua reabilitaçäo, que podem predispô-las a um maior acúmulo de placa bacteriana, principalmente na regiäo anterior da maxila. Com o objetivo de comparar as condiçöes clínicas, através da utilizaçäo dos índices de placa (IP) e gengival (IG) de Loe (1967) e a presença das bactérias P. gingivalis, P. nigrescens e T. denticola, através da técnica "Slot Immunoblot", foram avaliadas 57 crianças com dentiçäo decídua e idades entre 5 e 6 anos, sendo 30 portadoras de fissura completa de lábio e palato unilateral (grupo experimental) e 27 crianças sem fissura (grupo controle). O IP médio do grupo experimental (1,82 ñ 0,38) foi superior ao do grupo controle (1,63 ñ 0,38), embora sem diferença estatisticamente significante, enquanto o IG médio do grupo experimental (1,05 ñ 0,22) foi significantemente superior ao do grupo controle (0,79 ñ 0,33) (p<0,05). No grupo experimental a área da fissura (2 sítios), com IP médio de 2,04 ñ 0,58 e IG médio de 1,11 ñ 0,26, quando comparada à regiäo posterior (4 sítios), com IP médio de 1,74 ñ 0,37 e IG médio de 1,04 ñ 0,26, mostrou difrença estatisticamente significante somente em relaçäo ao IP. Considerando a severidade, a maioria das crianças dos dois grupos apresentou IP de grau moderado, 73,33 por cento para o grupo experimental e 81,48 por cento para o grupo controle; enquanto, para o IG, a maioria apresentou severidade de grau baixo, sendo de 53,33 por cento para o grupo experimental e de 70,37 por cento para a grupo controle...
