RESUMO

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the antibiotic profile of microorganisms isolated from urine samples of patients with community urine tract infections (UTI) admitted to the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sao Carlos to support an appropriate local empirical treatment. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2018 to October 2020. Data from 1,528 positive urine cultures for bacterial pathogens and antibiograms were tabulated. Bacterial species prevalence and their resistance profile were analyzed and compared by sex and age. For Gram-negative fermenting bacteria, resistance rates were compared between patients with previous hospitalization and the total of infections caused by this group. For comparisons, the Chi-square test was performed, using Fisher's exact test when necessary (BioEstat program, adopting p ≤ 0.05). A multivariate analysis was applied to assess the effect of the studied variables in predicting multidrug resistance. Infections were more prevalent in women and older adults. Gram-negative bacteria represented 90.44% of total cultures. In both sexes, E. coli prevalence was significantly higher in adults compared with older adults (p < 0.0001). For several antibiotics, resistance rates were higher in the older adults compared with other ages and in patients with Gram-negative fermenting infections and previous hospitalization compared with the total of infections by this group of bacteria. The closer to the hospitalization, the higher the number of antibiotics with superior resistance rates. Resistance rates for aminoglycosides, carbapenems, ceftazidime, nitrofurantoin, piperacillin+tazobactam, and fosfomycin were less than 20%, considered adequate for empirical treatment. Only hospitalization in the previous 90 days was statistically significant in predicting infections by multidrug-resistant bacteria.

RESUMO

Introduction. Malassezia is a lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeast genus belonging to the skin microbiota of humans and other animals. However, due to dysbiosis processes or other factors in the host, this yeast can cause different pathologies, ranging from skin diseases, such as seborrheic dermatitis, to fungemia. Isolation of Malassezia furfur has been reported in HIV-positive patients with or without skin lesions. Due to its opportunistic nature and its variable resistance to antifungal compounds, it is relevant to know the Malassezia sensitivity profiles. Objective. To determine the sensitivity to different antifungal agents, of clinical isolates of M. furfur obtained from HIV-positive or negative patients, with or without seborrheic dermatitis. Materials and methods. Assessment of isolates sensitivity to itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, and amphotericin B was performed by two techniques: (1) Broth microdilution using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) protocol M27-A3 with modifications; and (2) agar tests using Etest®. Results. Isolates obtained from HIV patients showed an increase in the minimum inhibitory concentration of fluconazole, voriconazole, and amphotericin B, compared with those of non-HIV patients. Itraconazole was the antifungal with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in most isolates. Conclusion. We observed differences in the sensitivity profiles of M. furfur isolates according to the context of the patient. High MIC of antifungals like fluconazole, commonly used for treating pathologies caused by Malassezia, were identified.


Introducción. Malassezia es un género de levaduras lipofílicas que dependen de los lípidos y hacen parte de la microbiota de la piel de humanos y otros animales. No obstante, debido a procesos de disbiosis u otros factores en el huésped, esta levadura puede llegar a causar diferentes enfermedades: desde cutáneas (como dermatitis seborreica) hasta fungemias. Se han reportado aislamientos de Malassezia furfur en pacientes positivos para HIV, con lesiones cutáneas o sin ellas. Por su carácter oportunista y sensibilidad variable a los compuestos antifúngicos, es relevante conocer los perfiles de sensibilidad. Objetivo. Determinar la sensibilidad a diferentes antifúngicos de aislamientos clínicos de M. furfur obtenidos de pacientes positivos o negativos para HIV, con dermatitis seborreica o sin ella. Materiales y métodos. La sensibilidad de los aislamientos a itraconazol, voriconazol, fluconazol y anfotericina B, se determinó mediante dos técnicas: microdilución en caldo según el protocolo M27-A3 del Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), con modificaciones, y pruebas en agar mediante Etest®. Resultados. Los aislamientos obtenidos de pacientes con HIV mostraron aumento de la concentración inhibitoria mínima a fluconazol, voriconazol y anfotericina B, en comparación con los de pacientes sin HIV. Por otro lado, al evaluar la mayoría de los aislamientos, el itraconazol fue el antifúngico con la menor concentración inhibitoria mínima. Conclusión. Se evidencian diferencias en los perfiles de sensibilidad de los aislamientos de M. furfur, según el contexto del paciente, y elevadas concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas de antifúngicos como el fluconazol, usados comúnmente para el tratamiento de las enfermedades causadas por Malassezia spp.

RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic data, molecular epidemiology, and in vitro antifungal susceptibility results of patients with Aspergillus isolated from various clinical specimens. METHODS: A total of 44 Aspergillus strains were studied. The definition of invasive aspergillosis in patients was made according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG) criteria. Strains were phenotypically and molecularly identified. Demographic characteristics of patients and genotypes of strains were evaluated. Phylogenetic analysis was done by the The Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). Antifungal susceptibility of strains was determined according to The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)-M61-Ed2 and The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). RESULTS: A total of 11 patients were classified as proven and 33 as probable invasive aspergillosis. There was a statistically significant difference in age groups, subdisease, neutropenic, and receiving chemotherapy between groups. A total of 23 strains were identified as Aspergillus fumigatus, 12 as Aspergillus niger, 6 as Aspergillus flavus, and 3 as Aspergillus terreus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed five different genotypes. No statistical difference was found in the comparisons between patients groups and genotype groups. There was a statistically significant difference between genotype groups and voriconazole, posaconazole, and itraconazole Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC). CONCLUSION: Accurate identification of strains and antifungal susceptibility studies should be performed due to azole and amphotericin B resistance. Genotyping studies are important in infection control due to identifying sources of infection and transmission routes.

RESUMO

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of lysosin-Ⅰ against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and its synergistic effect with eight common antibacterial drugs against MRSA. Methods:This study was conducted following the design principles of a randomized controlled trials. Ten MRSA isolates, clinically isolated from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between September and November 2021, were determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and bactericidal kinetic test of lycosin-Ⅰ in vitro anti-MRSA by micro-broth dilution method. Additionally, the micro-broth chessboard dilution method was utilized to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of lycosin-Ⅰ in combination with eight common antimicrobial agants, including penicillin, erythromycin, levofloxacin, gentamicin, rifampicin, minocycline, vancomycin, and linezolid. Results:The MIC range of lycosin-Ⅰ against MRSA was found to be between 4-8 mg/L with the MIC 50 and MIC 90 were 4 mg/L and 8 mg/L, respectively. The range of MBC was also between 4-8 mg/L, and the ratio of MBC/MIC was 1-2. The bactericidal kinetics test revealed that the number of surviving MRSA clinical isolates and standard strains initially decreased rapidly but then showed a resurgence when the concentration of lycosin-Ⅰ was 1/2 MIC or MIC. While, the bacterial load gradually reduced until complete elimination when the concentration was at 2 MIC or 4 MIC. The combination of lycosin-Ⅰ and gentamicin exhibited mainly synergistic effects, while the combination with other antibiotics showed mainly additive effects. Moreover, the combination of lycosin-Ⅰ and antibacterial drugs can significantly reduce the MIC 50 and MIC 90 of antibiotics. Conclusion:lycosin-Ⅰ has great antibacterial and bactericidal activity against MRSA in vitro with rapid and thorough sterilization effect and it can play a synergistic or additive role when combined with other antibacterial drugs against MRSA in vitro.

RESUMO

Objective:To evaluate the clinical performance of direct antimicrobial susceptibility test in blood culture-positive broth, and to provide a basis for optimizing the antibiotic use strategy in clinical bloodstream infection.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 780 blood culture-positive samples collected in Peking University People′s Hospital from May 2017 to December 2021. The direct antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion method on blood culture-positive broth. The antimicrobial susceptibility breakpoints were in accordance with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M100 S32 edition document.Results:In this study, a total of 331 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (139 strains of Escherichia coli, 79 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 35 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 21 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii) and 396 strains of Gram-positive cocci (25 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 316 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, 47 strains of Enterococcussp.) were collected, after excluding 53 cases with two or more isolates. Compared with the routine antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST), the rates of category agreement (CA), major error (ME), and very major error (VME) of Gram-negative bacteria were 86.0% (1368/1 591), 8.7% (139/1 591), and 0.5% (8/1 591), respectively. On the other hand, the CA%, ME%, and VME% of Gram-positive cocci were 89.2% (960/1 076), 7.5% (81/1 076), and 1% (11/1 076), respectively. Regarding the individual antimicrobial agents, the CA% of Escherichia coli was 16/17 for imipenem, 90.1% (109/121) for meropenem, and 70.8% (85/120) for cefepime. For Klebsiella pneumoniae, the CA% of was 10/13 for imipenem, 80.9% (55/68) for meropenem, and 80.3% (53/66) for cefepime. The CA% of meropenem in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii were 96.0% (24/25) and 16/16. The CA% of linezolid and cefoxitin in Staphylococcus aureus were 100% (25/25) and 100% (24/24), respectively. The CA% of linezolid, cefoxitin and gentamicin in coagulase-negative staphylococci were 98.9% (269/272), 94.5% (277/293) and 71.6% (194/271) respectively. Finally, for Enterococcus sp., the CA% of vancomycin and ampicillin were 91.5% (43/47) and 94.7% (36/38), respectively. Conclusion:Compared with the conventional AST, the blood culture-positive broth direct AST exhibited high category agreement and low error rates for both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive cocci, which can serve a rapid alternative for AST in cases of clinical bloodstream infection.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of virulence-related phenotypes/genotype, capsular serotype, drug resistance phenotypes, and sequence typing (ST) of Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients living in Zhongjiang county, improve clinical understanding, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of bacterial drug resistance and clinical rational drug use. Methods:The data of 135 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients who received treatment in Zhongjiang County People's Hospital from July to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Bacterial identification and drug sensitivity testing were performed using the WalkAway-40Plus automated microbiology system. Strains with a high viscosity phenotype were identified using wire drawing experiments. Hypervirulence-associated capsular serotype and virulence genes were verified by polymerase chain reaction. ST of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was identified using multilocus sequence typing. Results:Strains with a high viscosity phenotype were identified in 50.4% of the 135 strains. 54.1%, 54.8%, and 54.1% of the strains were positive for virulence genes iucA, iroN, rmpA. The proportion of strains with capsular Serotype K1 or K2 was 11.9% and 15.6%, respectively. A total of 65 kinds of ST were identified, with ST23 and ST37 being the most common, accounting for 11.1% and 6.7%, respectively. The resistance rate of the strains to 16 kinds of antibiotics was 0.0%-25.2%, and the resistance rate to Carbapenem antibiotics, Amikacin, and Tigecycline was less than 1%. The positive rate of virulence gene of strains with a high viscosity phenotype was significantly higher than that of strains without a high viscosity phenotype ( P < 0.001), and its resistance rate to Cephalosporin was significantly lower in strains with a high viscosity phenotype than that in strains without a high viscosity phenotype ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhongjiang County is characterized by "high virulence and low drug resistance". It is necessary to continuously monitor the changes in the virulence and drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, and be alert to the rapid dissemination of highly virulent strains.

RESUMO

Objective:To study the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria of biliary tract infection in patients with hepatobiliary surgery.Methods:A total of 103 patients with biliary tract infection who received treatment in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Lanxi People's Hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 were included in this study. Their bile was cultured to analyze the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. The data were processed using the WHONET5.5 software system.Results:Fifty-eight pathogenic bacteria-positive samples were cultured from the bile of 103 patients with biliary tract infection, with a pathogenic bacteria-positive rate of 56.31%. Among 58 strains of pathogenic bacteria, 38 strains (65.52%) were gram-negative bacteria, mainly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia, and 5 strains (8.62%) were fungal strains. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly resistant to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, and other antibacterial drugs, and were completely sensitive to imipenem and meropenem. Enterococcus faecalis was mainly resistant to ampicillin and penicillin G,and it was completely sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, and other drugs. A total of 13 strains of ultrabroad-spectrum beta-lactamase bacteria were isolated from 25 strains of Escherichia coli and 7 strains of Klebsiella pneumonia, with the positive detection rate of 40.63%. Conclusion:The main pathogenic bacteria of biliary tract infection are Gram-negative bacteria, which are widely distributed and have serious drug resistance. In clinical practice, antimicrobial drugs should be reasonably selected according to the results of bile drug sensitivity tests.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and related risk factors of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) bloodstream infection, and to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment of PAE bloodstream infection after combining with bacterial resistance condition. Methods:The clinical data and biological data of all patients with PAE bloodstream infection who received treatment in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2019 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The independent influential factors of PAE bloodstream infection were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results:Eighty-three patients had PAE bloodstream infection. Among them, 71 patients were included in the final analysis. Among the 71 patients, 36 patients (50.70%) had carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( CRPA). Univariate analysis showed that the history of hospitalization within 90 days ( χ2 = 3.90, P = 0.048), indwelling catheterization ( χ2 = 5.08, P = 0.024), septic shock ( χ2 = 4.00, P = 0.046), mechanical ventilation ( χ2= 12.35, P < 0.001), deep venous catheter ( χ2 = 4.08, P = 0.043), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation score II ≥ 10 points ( χ2 = 4.06, P = 0.044), and multi-drug resistance ( χ2 = 11.75, P = 0.001) were the suspicious influential factors of CRPA bloodstream infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation was an independent risk factor for CRPA bloodstream infection ( OR = 7.43, 95% CI 1.182-46.674, P = 0.032). Multi-drug resistance was an independent risk factor for CRPA bloodstream infection ( OR = 5.842, 95% CI 1.520-22.450, P = 0.010). Conclusion:Mechanical ventilation and multi-drug resistance are the independent influential factors of CRPA bloodstream infection. Invasive operations such as mechanical ventilation should be avoided in the clinic.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective. To describe antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from chicken carcasses and the antimicrobials commonly used in animals in Ecuador and provide information on antimicrobial resistance patterns for implementing evidence-based corrective measures. Methods. Meat samples were collected from chicken carcasses in 199 slaughterhouses across Ecuador as part of a national pilot study for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in agricultural sources in 2019. Samples were tested for E. coli and Salmonella spp. Sensitivity to 10 critically important and three highly important antimicrobials (from a human health perspective) was assessed. The country report submitted to the World Organization for Animal Health was accessed to extract the quantity of antimicrobials produced or imported for use in animals. Results. Of 383 samples, E. coli was isolated from 148 (39%) and Salmonella spp. from 20 (5%) samples. Ninety percent of the isolates were resistant to at least one critically important antimicrobial. Resistance was highest to erythromycin (E. coli 76%; Salmonella spp. 85%) and tetracycline (E. coli 71%; Salmonella spp. 90%). Critically or highly important antimicrobials (colistin, tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) formed the bulk (87%) of antimicrobials used in animals as per the World Organization for Animal Health report. Conclusions. High prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in poultry in Ecuador calls for the development of guidelines and regulations on the use of antimicrobials and for engagement with livestock producers. The existing surveillance system needs to be strengthened to improve the monitoring of antimicrobial use and evolving resistance patterns.


RESUMEN Objetivo. Describir los perfiles de resistencia antimicrobiana de las bacterias Escherichia coli y Salmonella spp. aisladas en carne de pollo y los antimicrobianos comúnmente empleados en animales en Ecuador, así como proporcionar información sobre los patrones de resistencia a los antimicrobianos para poner en marcha medidas correctivas basadas en la evidencia. Métodos. Se recogieron muestras de carne de pollo en 199 mataderos de todo Ecuador en el marco de un estudio piloto nacional para monitorear la resistencia a los antimicrobianos en fuentes agrícolas en el 2019. Se analizaron las muestras en busca de E. coli y Salmonella spp. Se evaluó la sensibilidad a diez antimicrobianos de importancia crítica y tres muy importantes (para la salud humana). Se accedió al informe de país presentado ante la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal para obtener la cantidad de antimicrobianos producidos o importados para su uso en animales. Resultados. De 383 muestras, se aisló E. coli en 148 (39%) y Salmonella spp. en 20 (5%). En total, 90% de las cepas aisladas fueron resistentes a al menos un antimicrobiano de importancia crítica. Hubo una mayor resistencia a la eritromicina (E. coli: 76%; Salmonella spp.: 85%) y a la tetraciclina (E. coli: 71%; Salmonella spp.: 90%). Los antimicrobianos de importancia crítica o muy importantes (colistina, tetraciclina, trimetoprima/sulfametoxazol) constituyeron la mayor parte (87%) de los antimicrobianos empleados en animales según el informe de la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal. Conclusiones. Debido a la alta prevalencia de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos en las aves de corral en Ecuador, son imprescindibles la elaboración de directrices y regulaciones sobre el uso de antimicrobianos y el compromiso con los productores pecuarios. Es necesario fortalecer el sistema de vigilancia existente para mejorar el seguimiento del uso de antimicrobianos y de la evolución de los patrones de resistencia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#Agar dilution method (ADM) was used as the golden standard to evaluate the consistency of Epsilometer test (E-test) in detecting the sensitivity of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to metronidazole.@*METHODS@#From August 2018 to July 2020, patients with H. pylori infection treated for the first time in Peking University Third Hospital for gastroscopy due to dyspepsia were included in this study. Gastric mucosas were taken from the patients with H. pylori infection. H. pylori culture was performed. Both the ADM and E-test were applied to the antibiotic susceptibility of H. pylori to metro-nidazole, and the consistency and correlation between the two methods were validated.@*RESULTS@#In the study, 105 clinical isolates of H. pylori were successfully cultured, and the minimum inhibitory concentration ≥ 8 mg/L was defined as drug resistance. Both ADM and the E-test showed high resistance rates to metronidazole, 64.8% and 62.9%, respectively. Among them, 66 drug-resistant strains were detected by ADM and E-test, and 37 were sensitive strains, so the consistency rate was 98.1%. Two strains were evaluated as drug resistance by ADM, but sensitive by the E-test, with a very major error rate of 1.9%. There was zero strain sensitive according to ADM but assessed as resistant by the E-test, so the major error rate was 0%. Taking ADM as the gold standard, the sensitivity of E-test in the detection of metronidazole susceptibility was 97.1% (95%CI: 0.888-0.995), and the specificity was 100% (95%CI: 0.883-1.000). Cohen's kappa analysis showed substantial agreement, and kappa coefficient was 0.959 (95%CI: 0.902-1.016, P < 0.001). Spearmans correlation analysis confirmed this correlation was significant (r=0.807, P < 0.001). The consistency evaluation of Bland-Altman method indicated that it was good, and there was no measured value outside the consistency interval. In this study, cost analysis, including materials and labor, showed a 32.2% higher cost per analyte for ADM as compared with the E-test (356.6 yuan vs. 269.8 yuan).@*CONCLUSION@#The susceptibility test of H. pylori to metronidazole by E-test presents better agreement with ADM. Because it is less expensive, less labor intensive, and more rapid, it is an easy and reliable method for H. pylori susceptibility testing.

RESUMO

RESUMEN: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) es un microorganismo frecuentemente aislado en pacientes con periodontitis, en los que también se incluye los de la población chilena. El modelo de "Keystone bacteria" demostró que P. gingivalis induce la disbiosis del biofilm subgingival y permite el desarrollo de algunas especies sobre otras, modulando la patogenicidad de la comunidad microbiológica completa. El tratamiento de la periodontitis es principalmente mecánico, pero en condiciones específicas es necesario el complemento con antibioterapia. Los estudios globales de antibióticos evaluados en ensayos clínicos y estudios in vitro han mostrado resultados mixtos en cuanto a eficacia y susceptibilidad. Este estudio descriptivo tuvo como objetivo evaluar el perfil de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana in vitro a metronidazol, clindamicina, amoxicilina más ácido clavulánico, moxifloxacino y azitromicina de P. gingivalis aisladas de pacientes periodontales chilenos. Se obtuvieron muestras microbiológicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de periodontitis estadíos III y IV generalizada, las que se sometieron a procesos de identificación mediante un espectrómetro de masas (MALDI-TOF MS). Posteriormente, a cada muestra positiva a P. gingivalis se aplicó el protocolo gold standard de susceptibilidad para los cinco antimicrobianos evaluados (Dilución en Agar Sangre Brucella- McFarland 0.5). Se seleccionaron 50 pacientes (25 mujeres, 25 hombres) entre 34-69 años. Finalmente, se recuperaron 25 cepas de P. gingivalis (50 %) para el análisis de susceptibilidad y todas ellas fueron sensibles a todos los antibióticos evaluados (100 % susceptibilidad). Las cepas de P. gingivalis fueron altamente sensibles a los cinco antibióticos evaluados en esta población, lo que podría implicar contar con diferentes alternativas de tratamiento farmacológico antimicrobi ano como complemento al tratamiento mecánico convencional en pacientes específicos.


ABSTRACT: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a microorganism frequently isolated in patients with periodontitis, which also include those of Chilean population. The "Keystone bacteria" model demonstrated that P. gingivalis induces dysbiosis of the subgingival biofilm and allows the development of some species over others, modulating the pathogenicity of the entire microbiological community. The treatment of periodontitis is mainly mechanical; nevertheless, under specific conditions the complement with antibiotherapy is needed. Global studies of antibiotics evaluated in clinical trials and in vitro studies have shown mixed results in terms of efficacy and susceptibility. This descriptive study aimed to evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility profile in vitro to metronidazole, clindamycin, amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid, moxifloxacin and azithromycin of P. gingivalis isolated from Chilean periodontal patients. Microbiological samples were obtained from patients with a diagnosis of generalized periodontitis stages III and IV, which were exposed to identification processes by a mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS). Subsequently, the gold standard susceptibility protocol for the five antimicrobials evaluated was applied to each P. gingivalis- positive sample (Dilution in Brucella-McFarland Blood Agar 0.5). 50 patients (25 women, 25 men) between 34-69 years old were selected. Finally, 25 P. gingivalis strains (50 %) were recovered for susceptibility testing and all of them were susceptible to all antibiotics tested (100 % susceptibility). P. gingivalis strains were highly susceptible to the five antibiotics evaluated in this population, which could implies counting different antimicrobial pharmacological treatment alternatives as a complement to conventional mechanical treatment in specific patients.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar el comportamiento clínico epidemiológico de apoyo al diagnóstico terapéutico y susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de infección del tracto urinario (ITU) en hospitalización del servicio de Pediatría del Hospital Regional de Moquegua durante los años 2014-2020. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo. Para el propósito del estudio se tomó en cuenta una población de 248 pacientes, de 1 mes de edad a 14 años con 11 meses y 30 días, con diagnóstico de ITU, a quienes se les realizó un urocultivo. Se utilizó una ficha de recolección de datos y se procesaron los resultados en el programa SPSS versión 23. Resultados: La infección se presentó con más frecuencia en pacientes de sexo femenino (82,26 %) y la fiebre (83,87 %) fue la manifestación clínica predominante. El tratamiento médico que más se utilizó fue la amikacina (49,19 %). El germen que se aisló con mayor frecuencia fue E. coli (70,57 %). Los gérmenes aislados mostraron mayor frecuencia de sensibilidad frente a los antibióticos nitrofurantoina (70,16 %), ceftazidima (51,20 %), gentamicina (43,14 %) y amikacina (28,62 %). Por otro lado, presentaron resistencia frente al sulfametoxazol-trimetropim (74,59 %). Dentro de los hallazgos más comunes sobre estudios de imágenes se encontró la pielectasia unilateral (43,14 %). Conclusiones: La ITU se presenta con mayor frecuencia en mujeres. Es fundamental realizar la anamnesis y el examen clínico y, además, contar con el examen completo de orina y de imágenes. El diagnóstico definitivo se obtendrá vía urocultivo; iniciar el tratamiento de manera empírica dependerá del historial de sensibilidad y resistencia en base a los urocultivos realizados.


ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of urinary tract infections (UTIs) supported by the diagnosis, therapy and antimicrobial susceptibility of inpatients of the Pediatric Unit of the Hospital Regional de Moquegua from 2014 to 2020. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study. The research included a population of 248 patients aged between 1 month and 14 years 11 months 30 days with a diagnosis of UTI who underwent a urine culture. A data collection sheet was used and the results were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics statistical software 23.0. Results: The infection occurred more often in female patients (82.26 %), with fever being the most prevalent clinical manifestation (83.87 %). The most widely used medical treatment was amikacin (49.19 %). E. coli was the most frequently isolated germ (70.57 %). The isolated germs showed sensitivity to antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin (70.16 %), ceftazidime (51.20 %), gentamicin (43.14 %) and amikacin (28.62 %). In contrast, they were resistant to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (74.59 %). One of the most common findings in the imaging tests was unilateral pyelectasis (43.14 %). Conclusions: UTIs occur more frequently in women. The anamnesis and clinical examination, together with a complete urinalysis and imaging tests, are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. The definitive diagnosis must be established by a urine culture. The choice of an empirical therapy will depend on the patient's history of sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics based on the urine cultures performed.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the microbiota distribution and drug resistance in gravidas with suspected infection to provide a reference for the treatment of maternal infectious diseases.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the distribution and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from obstetric patients in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University (Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital) from January 1, 2016. to December 31, 2019. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to identify pathogenic microorganisms. The susceptibility of isolated pathogenic bacteria to common antimicrobial agents was detected using bioMerieux VITEK-2 (France). Descriptive statistical methods was used. Results:A total of 4 086 strains were isolated from 3 781 samples of 3 225 gravidas and 44.17% (1 670) of the strains were from secretion specimens, including 767 cervical, 423 vulvovaginal, 318 perineum wound and 117 uterine secretion specimens. The most common bacterium was Escherichia coli (1 728, 42.29%), followed by Saccharomyces (901, 22.05%), Streptococcus (429, 10.50%), Enterococcus (377, 9.23%), and Staphylococcus (300, 7.34%). The proportion of Enterococcus among all the positive bacteria increased during the study period with its ranking rising from the 5th in 2016 to the 3rd in 2019, while the ranking of the proportion of Staphylococcus fell from the 4th in 2016 to the 5th in 2019. More than 90% of Escherichia coli were sensitive to carbapenems, piperacillin/tazobactam, amikacin, nitrofurantoin and ceftazidime, but only 35% or less to ampicillin and cefazolin. More than 98% of Candida strains were sensitive to amphotericin, but less than 56% to itraconazole. From 2016 to 2019, the sensitivity of Escherichia coli to cefuroxime sodium and ceftriaxone remained around 65%. The sensitive rate of Candida albicans to voriconazole and fluconazole gradually decreased from about 90% to 56%. The most common Enterococcus was Enterococcus faecalis and its susceptibility to vancomycin, ampicillin, penicillin, linezolid, nitrofurantoin and levofloxacin were all over 90%. Conclusions:Escherichia coli is the most common pathogenic microorganism in gravidas with suspected clinical infection and its susceptibility to cefuroxime sodium and ceftriaxone is stable. Candida albicans shows a gradually decreased susceptibility to voriconazole and fluconazole, which needs close attention. The proportion of Enterococcus in all pathogenic bacteria increases significantly over time, while that of Staphylococcus decreases.

RESUMO

Objective:To compare the in vitro susceptibility of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strains from superficial and deep infections to 8 antifungal drugs, and to compare drug resistance mutations in these strains. Methods:According to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) protocol M27-A4, 26 deep infection-derived and 33 superficial infection-derived drug-resistant Candida albicans strains were tested for in vitro susceptibility to 8 antifungal drugs (fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, amphotericin B, fluorocytosine, terbinafine, and micafungin) alone or in combination. DNA was extracted from all drug-resistant strains, and mutations in 3 drug resistance genes, including ERG3, ERG11 and FUR1, were detected by PCR. Normally distributed measurement data with homogeneous variance were compared between two groups by using two-independent-sample t test, non-normally distributed measurement data with non-homogeneous variance were compared using Mann-Whitney U test, and enumeration data were compared using chi-square test. Results:The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole and fluorocytosine all significantly differed between the superficial infection group and deep infection group (all P < 0.05) , while there was no significant difference in the MIC of amphotericin B or micafungin between the two groups (both P > 0.05) . The MIC of terbinafine was >64 μg/ml in 96.6% of the above strains, so could not be compared between groups. As combination drug susceptibility testing revealed, the combination of terbinafine with azoles (fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole or posaconazole) showed synergistic inhibitory effects against 15 Candida albicans strains (7 strains from deep infections, 8 strains from superficial infections) , with fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices being 0.033 to 0.187; no marked synergistic effect was observed in the combinations between fluorocytosine and azoles, between fluorocytosine and amphotericin B, or between amphotericin B and fluconazole, with the FIC indices being 0.56 to 1.125. The missense mutation V351A in the ERG3 gene was identified in all the 33 (100%) superficial infection-derived strains, as well as in 13 (50%) deep infection-derived strains, and the mutation A353T in the ERG3 gene was identified in 4 (15%) deep infection-derived strains; as for the ERG11 gene, missense mutations identified in the superficial infection-derived strains included I437V (32 strains, 97%) , Y132H (23 strains, 70%) , T123I (16 strains, 48%) , K128T (6 strains, 18%) , D116E (5 strains, 15%) , A114S (4 strains, 12%) , E266D (2 strains, 6%) , G448E (2 strains, 6%) , and G465S (2 strains, 6%) , while missense mutations identified in the deep infection-derived strains included I437V (23 strains, 88%) , E266D (13 strains, 50%) , E260G (5 strains, 19%) , and V488I (4 strains, 15%) ; the missense mutation R101C in the FUR1 gene was identified in 11 (33%) superficial infection-derived strains, but not identified in deep infection-derived strains. Conclusion:The drug susceptibility and drug resistance mutations differed to some extent between superficial infection- and deep infection-derived fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strains.

RESUMO

Objective:To test the antibiotic susceptibility of vulvovaginal candidiasis pathogenic strains to 5 antifungal drugs commonly used in clinic.Methods:A total of 1 200 vulvovaginal candida patients from 23 gynecological and family planning outpatient departments in China were enrolled. Their vaginal secretions were collected for candida strain isolation and species identification. According to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M27-S3, the sensitivity of 1 200 strains to clotrimazole, fluconazole, miconazole, itraconazole and nystatin was tested.Results:(1) The sensitivity and resistance of 1 200 vulvovaginal candidiasis pathogens to 5 antifungal drugs were statistically different ( χ2=3 513.201, P<0.01). (2) All strains had higher sensitivity to nystatin [99.92% (1 199/1 200)], followed by miconazole [92.25% (1 107/1 200)] and clotrimazole [87.17% (1 046/1 200)]. All strains had higher resistance to fluconazole [69.17% (830/1 200)], while itraconazole was 50.83% (610/1 200). (3) There was no significant difference between candida albicans and non-candida albicans in drug sensitivity to nystatin ( P=0.315) and miconazole ( P=0.425). (4) Candida albicans and non-candida albicans showed different sensitivity to clotrimazole, fluconazole and itraconazole, respectively. Compared with non-candida albicans, candida albicans showed higher sensitivity to clotrimazole [susceptibility rate: 73.01% (165/226) vs 90.45% (881/974); P<0.001] and higher resistance to fluconazole [resistance rate: 50.88% (115/226) vs 73.41% (715/974); P<0.001]. Although the drug sensitivity of itraconazole was not high, the susceptibility rate of candida albicans to itraconazole was slightly higher than that of non-candida albicans [37.68% (367/974) vs 23.89% (54/226)], and the drug resistance rate was lower [49.28% (480/974) vs 57.52% (130/226)]. Conclusions:The sensitivity of 1 200 strains of candida to 5 antifungal drugs is significantly different, the sensitivity rate of nystatin, miconazole and clotrimazole are higher, but the resistance rate of fluconazole and itraconazole are higher. The sensitivity of candida albicans and non-candida albicans to the same drug is also significantly different. It is suggested that in clinical diagnosis and treatment, we should pay attention to the identification of candida and drug sensitivity test, so as to select antifungal drugs rationally.
