ABSTRACT

Objective:To identify the prevalence of klebsiella pneumoniae and to analyze the factors related to the infection by this bacterium in a private hospital in northeastern Brazil. Method: descriptive retrospective documentary study, carried out with patients who developed infection in the year 2017 (n: 64). Sociodemographic and infection information was collected. The data was processed in SPSS 20.0. The project was approved by the ethics committee. Results: the most prevalent topographic site was the urinary tract (34; 56.7%). the main risk factor for triggering klebsiella pneumoniae infection was the use of mechanical ventilation, presenting a risk of 43.8% for the appearance of infections by this microorganism. Higher resistance was found for the piperacillin / tazobactam 52 antimicrobial (82.5%). Conclusion: because of the high resistance to antibiotics and the great potential of klebsiella contamination, measures should be taken to minimize the high level of contamination and, especially, the negative prognosis for the patient

ABSTRACT

Resumen Las infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU) se consideran como una de las principales causas de morbilidad en el mundo, y Escherichia coli uropatogénica (UPEC, por sus siglas en inglés) es el agente causal asociado a estas infecciones. La alta morbilidad generada por las ITU y la limitación de tratamientos debido al aumento de la resistencia bacteriana a los diversos antibióticos inducen la búsqueda de nuevas alternativas contra estas infecciones. El conocimiento que se ha generado acerca de la respuesta inmunitaria en el tracto urinario (TU) es importante para el desarrollo de estrategias efectivas en la prevención, el tratamiento y el control de las ITU. Los avances en las herramientas de biología molecular y bioinformática han permitido generar proteínas de fusión consideradas como biomoléculas potenciales para el desarrollo de una vacuna viable contra las ITU. Las adhesinas fimbriales (FimH, CsgA y PapG) de UPEC son factores de virulencia que contribuyen a la adherencia, la invasión y la formación de comunidades bacterianas intracelulares. Pocos estudios in vivo e in vitro han mostrado que las proteínas de fusión promueven una respuesta inmunitaria eficiente y de protección contra las ITU causadas por UPEC. Adicionalmente, la vía de inmunización intranasal con moléculas inmunogénicas ha generado una respuesta en la mucosa del TU en comparación contra otras vías de inmunización. El objetivo de esta revisión fue proponer un diseño de vacuna contra las ITU causadas por UPEC, describiendo el panorama general de la infección, el mecanismo de patogenicidad de la bacteria y la respuesta inmunitaria del huésped.


Abstract Urinary tract infections (UTI) are considered one of the main causes of morbidity worldwide, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the etiological agent associated with these infections. The high morbidity produced by the UTI and the limitation of antibiotic treatments promotes the search for new alternatives against these infections. The knowledge that has been generated regarding the immune response in the urinary tract is important for the development of effective strategies in the UTI prevention, treatment, and control. Molecular biology and bioinformatic tools have allowed the construction of fusion proteins as biomolecules for the development of a viable vaccine against UTI. The fimbrial adhesins (FimH, CsgA, and PapG) of UPEC are virulence factors that contribute to the adhesion, invasion, and formation of intracellular bacterial communities. The generation of recombinant proteins from fimbrial adhesins as a single molecule is obtained by fusion technology. A few in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that fusion proteins provide an efficient immune response and protection against UTI produced by UPEC. Intranasal immunization of immunogenic molecules has generated a response in the urinary tract mucosa compared with other routes of immunization. The objective of this review was to propose a vaccine designed against UTI caused by UPEC, describing the general scenario of the infection, the mechanism of pathogenicity of bacteria, and the immune response of the host.

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: After Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa has been the third most common cause of nosocomial infections and their active opportunistic transport, occurs due to the disregarding public health, So this study was done in order to investigate the antibacterial effects of Essential oils and Ethanol extracts of the Native Plants, Ziziphora Clinopodioides on the isolated bacteria from the urinary tract of laboratory rats, as an experimental model


Materials and Methods: Under sterile conditions, required amount of urine collection was taken from 40 healthy Wistar rats and after identifying the isolates with standard microbiologic methods, to determine the antimicrobial effects of essential oils and ethanol extracts of that native plants on the isolates, MIC, MBC and antibiogram tests was performed


Results: The results showed that both essential oils and ethanol extracts of Ziziphora Clinopodioides have inhibitory and bactericidal effects on all isolated bacteria except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and comparison of the inhibitory and bactericidal effects of these compounds revealed that the essential oils of this plant compared to its extracts is able to inhibit the growth isolated bacteria with low concentrations. Also, there was a significant difference between the antibacterial activity of these plants [P<0.05]


Conclusions: It seems that we can use the compounds of Ziziphora Clinopodioides as the appropriate antibacterial materials against bacteria such as opportunistic pathogens [except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa], that may cause the human infections

ABSTRACT

Background: Candida species are now recognized as major causative agents of hospitalacquired infection. Aims: To evaluate the species distribution, biofilm formation,and antifungal susceptibility (amphotericin B, ketoconazole, and fluconazole) of Candida isolates. Place and Duration of Study: This is a Six-months Cross sectional study conducted in Alansar hospital, Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: One hundred and three isolates of Candida spp. were cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). Candida spp. were identified by four standard methods, CHROMagar candida, cornmeal agar, germ tube test and API 20C. Detection of Biofilm formation was done by microtitre plate and antifungal susceptibility testing was done by disc diffusion. Results: C. albicans was the most common species 61%, followed by C. tropicalis 25%, C. lusitanaie 5%, C. parapsilosis 4%, C. glabrata 4% and C. famata 1%. Biofilm formation was found to occur most frequently among non-albicans spp.(70%) than C. albicans (46%). All isolates were sensitive to amphotericin B and ketoconazole. Resistance to fluconazole was found in 22.5% of non-albicans spp. and 5% of C. albicans isolates. Conclusion: The present study proved that C. albicans is still the major isolate from urinary, vaginal and respiratory samples but non-albicans spp. predominate in the blood samples and from plastic devices. The non-albicans spp. were more biofilm - producers compared to C. albicans and C. tropicalis showed the highest score of biofilm intensity (grade 4+). The species isolated are less susceptible to fluconazole.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: verificar si existe asociación entre tipo de microorganismo aislado en recién nacidos que inician una infección del tracto urinario y la presencia de anomalías del tracto urinario. Métodos: estudio observacional, prospectivo, desde 1992 hasta 2010, de una cohorte de 427 recién nacidos que ingresaron con la primera infección del tracto urinario, de localización alta, por criterios clínicos, y que se realizaron ultrasonido renal y uretrocistografía miccional. Se analizó la asociación entre la presencia de reflujo vésico-ureteral y otras anomalías del tracto urinario, con el tipo de microorganismo causal de la infección del tracto urinario. Resultados: los aislamientos bacterianos en los urocultivos correspondieron en 402 de los pacientes a microorganismos del género Enterobacteriaceae (94,1 por ciento), liderados por la E. coli en 276 (64,6 por ciento). La prevalencia de anomalías del tracto urinario resultó ser de 23,6 x 100. El problema más prevalente fue el reflujo vésico-ureteral, presente en 82 pacientes (19,2 x 100). Se comprobó que la presencia de reflujo vésico-ureteral tuvo asociación de riesgo estadísticamente significativa con el microorganismo causal diferente a E. coli (RR: 1,56; p< 0,05). De igual manera, se relacionó la presencia de reflujo vésico-ureteral o de otro tipo de anomalía del tracto urinario, con el microorganismo causal de la infección del tracto urinario, y los resultados del análisis fueron similares (RR:1,64; p< 0,01). Conclusiones: aunque la E. coli es el microorganismo causal más frecuente de la infección del tracto urinario neonatal, cuando se obtiene un aislamiento diferente a E. coli es muy probable que el paciente sea portador de una anomalía del tracto urinario, dado que la presencia de reflujo vésico-ureteral y otras anomalías del tracto urinario se asocian significativamente a aquellos diferentes a E. coli


Objective: to confirm whether the type of microorganism isolated in newborns with initial urinary tract infection and the anomalies of the urinary tract are associated or not. Methods: prospective and observational study of a cohort of 427 newborns, who were admitted to the hospital with their first urinary infection in the upper tract based on clinical criteria, and they underwent renal ultrasound and urethrocystography. The relationship between the vesicourethral reflux and other anomalies of the urinary tract with the type of causative microorganism of the urinary tract infection was analyzed. Results: bacterial isolates in uricultures were Enterobacteriaceae genus microorganisms in 402 patients (94.1 percent), led by E. coli in 276 (64.6 percent ). The prevalence of anomalies of the urinary tract was 23.6 x 100. The most prevalent problem was vesicourethral reflux found in 82 patients (19.2 x 100). It was confirmed that the presence of vesicourethral reflux had statistically significant association, in terms of risk, with causative microorganism other than E.coli (RR: 1.56; p< 0.05). Similarly, the presence of vesicourethral reflux or of other type of anomalies in the urinary tract was related to the causative microorganism of the urinary tract infection and the results of the analysis were similar (RR:1.64; p< 0.01). Conclusions: although E.coli is the most frequent causative microorganism of the neonatal urinary tract infection, when an isolate different from E. coli is obtained, it is very likely that the patient carries some anomaly of the urinary tract since the presence of the vesicourethral reflux and other anomalies of the urinary tract are significantly associated to microorganisms other than E.coli

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho procurou avaliar a taxa de isolamento de Mycoplasma hominis e Ureaplasma urealiticum/U. parvum emamostras de conteúdo vaginal de 84 mulheres atendidas em um laboratório de analises clínica de Blumenau – SC, por dois meios de cultura de procedência diferentes. Os resultados demonstraram 50,0 % de positividade para Ureaplasma urealiticum/U. parvum e 20,24% de positividade para Micoplasma hominis por cultura em meio feito em nosso laboratório (P< 0,0001) e 16,67% de positividade para U. urealiticum e 8,33% de positividade para M. hominis por cultura em meio comercial (P< 0,0001). As amostras que foram cultivadas por meio próprio e obtiveram resultado positivo foram também analisadas por diluições seriadas para identificar a quantidadedestes microrganismos expresso em C.C.U. (color changing units). Os resultados demonstraram que 52,94% destas amostras apresentaram C.C.U. maior que 104 para M. hominis e 42,86% apresentaram C.C.U. maior que 103 para U. urealyticum, sendo estesos níveis considerados clinicamente significativos para que a presença destes microrganismos seja implicada na etiologia dos sintomas. No presente trabalho discutiu-se as possíveis causas desta diferença de positividade entre os dois métodos utilizados.

ABSTRACT

As infecções do trato urinário(ITU) são consideradas as mais comuns infecções bacterianas, responsáveis por 80 em cada 1.000 consultas clínicas. Ademais, cerca de 15(por cemto) dos óbitos por insuficiência renal resultam de lesão secundária à infecção crônica renal. Conquanto as ITUs ocorram com a devida freqüência em crianças até os seis anos de idade e em mulheres jovens, a prevalência dessas inefcções se eleva com a idade, passando a representar doença de grande importância em adultos idosos.No presente artigo, os autores descrevem as caracteristicas epidemilógicas, os agentes patogênicos e os pontos importantes na clínica e diagnóstico da ITUs,abordando aspectos práticos do tratamento e profilaxia desta importante afecção.

ABSTRACT

Infecções bacterianas do trato urinário são um problema muito comum tanto em infecções nosocomiais quanto na comunidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de patógenos responsáveis por infecções no trato urinário, relacionando-os com a sua susceptibilidade frente aos antimicrobianos utilizados. Durante o período de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2001 foram analisados resultados de 2378 culturas de urinas positivas de pacientes ambulatoriais, sem restrições de sexo e idade, de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Escherichia coli foi o microrganismo isolado mais prevalente: 74,3 porcento, seguido de Proteus mirabilis com 8,0 porcento e Enterobacter aerogenes com 4,88 porcento. Nitrofurantoína (NIT) apresentou altos índices de atividade frente ao Cocos Gram-positivos, enquanto que o Norfloxacin foi o antimicrobiano que apresentou a maior atividade frente aos Bacilos Gram-negativos.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) hydrolyse expanded spectrum cephalosporins like ceftazidime, cefotaxime and monobactam aztreonam. ESBL producing bacteria may not be detectable in the routine disk diffusion susceptibility tests leading to inappropriate use of antibiotics and treatment failures. As information on ESBL producers causing urinary tract infection (UTI) is not available from our country, the occurrence of ESBL producing strains causing UTI was studied as also the differences between the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of ESBL and non-ESBL producers. METHODS: Urinary isolates (233) were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility by Stoke's method and ESBL production by double disk diffusion method (ceftazidime and clavulanic acid). The clinical and demographic profile of the patients was noted. RESULTS: Sixty two of the 233 isolates tested (26.6%) were ESBL producers. Approximately 38.5 per cent of Klebsiellae, 24.7 per cent of Escherichia coli, 24 per cent of Enterobacter aerogenes, 33.3 per cent of Proteus sp. and the only Citrobacter strain produced ESBL. Recent surgery was found to be a significant (P < 0.01) risk factor for acquisition of ESBLs. Approximately 30 per cent of the ESBL producers appeared falsely sensitive or moderately sensitive to cefotaxime/ceftazidime in routine susceptibility testing. There was no difference between the ESBL producers and non-producers in the susceptibility to non-beta lactam agents except for gentamicin. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: A high percentage of urinary tract isolates produced ESBL. Since they are likely to be missed in routine disk diffusion susceptibility tests, all microbiology laboratories should look for ESBL production routinely to avoid treatment failures.

ABSTRACT

Foram estudados os leucogramas de 78 pacientes atendidos no Laboratório Médico Ciência no Hospital Infantil Joana de Gusmäo, de Florianópolis, no período de 01/01/1997 até 01/09/1997 com diagnóstico de Infecçäo do Trato Urinário (ITU), apresentando o estudo, uma correlaçäo entre a alteraçäo no leucograma com infecçäo urinária. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a exames de urina, urocultura e leucograma considerando apenas os que apresentaram cultura positiva. Observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes acometidos por ITU apresentavam leucocitose, neutrofilia e desvio à esquerda, já as granulaçöes tóxicas näo foram normalmente encontradas.Os resultados ainda demonstraram que há relaçäo entre o aumento da leucocitúria e o aumento na leucometria, porém isso näo ocorre de maneira proporcional. Também näo houve relaçäo proporcional entre o aumento do número de Unidades Formadoras de Colônias (UFC) e da leucocitose. Os agentes mais frequentemente encontrados foram a E. coli e o Proteus sp porém näo se pode afirmar quais os que causam maiores atençöoes na leucometria

ABSTRACT

Tomando como base el esquema propuesto por Benito y col. (1986) conservando las mismas pruebas bioquímicas pero cambiando las tablas de interpretación, se biotipificaron 73 cepas de Gardnerella vaginalis aisladas de vías urinarias de 41 mujeres que acudieron a consulta ginecológíca al Centro de Salud "Dr. José Castro Villagrana" en Tlalpan, México, D.F. De éstas, 33 cepas correspondieron a 16 mujeres con sintomatología de infección de vías urinarias y 40 cepas correspondieron a 25 mujeres sin sintomatología. Con base en la tabla de interpretación propuesta, se encontraron 30 biotipos diferentes, siendo los biotipos 1H (8.2 por ciento), 5G (9.6 por ciento) y 7G (9.6 por ciento), los más frecuentemente aislados mostrando diferencias significativas. No se encontró ningún biotipo asociado mayormente a cuadros con sintomatología de infección de vías urinarias; mientras que los biotipos antes mencionados se asocian con significancia estadística (p< 0.01) a la ausencia de sintomatología

ABSTRACT

During an 18-month period 100 patients from our hospital [in-patients] underwent culture of urine for fungi. All patients had one or more of the factors predisposing to funguria, out of these cases 21 cases had positive culture for fungi, among them there were 12 males and nine females. The distribution of fungi was C. albicane 13 cases, other C. species five cases and T.glabrate three cases. Our work attracts the attention to the increasing incidence of funguria in hospitals nowadays, Candida fungal infections of the urinary tract is a significant part of the problem of nosocomial urinary tract infections, improvement in techniques of catheter care and insertion must continue and reduction of number and duration of antibiotic therapy should be done if possible
