Bioaerossóis são partículas transportadas pelo ar que se originam de micro-organismos vivos, como bactérias, fungos e vírus e, podem permanecer suspensos e viáveis ​​na corrente de ar por longos períodos de tempo. Seus componentes têm efeitos negativos, especialmente na saúde de pessoas imunocomprometidas. Objetivou-se avaliar a presença de microrganismos viáveis potencialmente patogênicos em bioaerossóis de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva de um hospital do noroeste paulista.. Para a pesquisa foram colhidas amostras do ar de locais definidos. Todas as amostras foram cultivadas em Placas de Petri contendo meios seletivos e não seletivos para bactérias e fungos, incubadas à temperatura de 37 ºC por 24-48h para cultivos bacterianos e de 4 a 15 dias para cultivos fúngicos. Posteriormente, foi realizada a avaliação das características das colônias bem como a identificação por métodos bioquímicos convencionas. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram a presença de leveduras das espécies Candida albicans e Candida spp e bactérias gram-positivas Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis e Micrococcus spp, gram-negativas Escherichia coli e Klebsiella spp.   Verificou-se pradrão de resistência a antibióticos em E. coli e Micrococcus spp, S. aureus foi sensível a maioria dos antibióticos, enquanto foi possível observar 100% de sensibilidades para S. epidermidis e Klebsiella spp.

Objective: The objective of the study was to know the isolation rate and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of pathogens causing urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods: A total of 500 urine samples of clinically suspected UTI were collected from January 2019 to June 2019. The samples were inoculated on Cystine Lactose Electrolyte-Deficient agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Results: In our study, 303 (60.6%) samples showed growth of isolates. Among 303 isolates, 31 were Candida spp. which was not included in the study. Out of 272 isolates, Escherichia coli was 31.68%, followed by Klebsiella spp. (27.72%), Enterococcus faecalis (22.44%), Citrobacter spp. (3.96%), Staphylococcus aureus (2.64%), and Pseudomonas spp. (1.32%). For Gram-negative and Gram-positive isolates, the most effective antibiotic was nitrofurantoin. Conclusion: The study shows E. coli as the predominant pathogen that causes UTI. Nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin showed very high susceptibility to uropathogens and can be used to treat primary or uncomplicated UTI.

The article deals with the results of search of the influence of intestinal parasites on the indicators of antilysozyme and anticomplementary activity of microorganism of distal department of intestine. It was established, that the products of intestinal parasites of pigs reduce anti lysozyme activity of such obligate anaerobes as Bifidobacterium spp. to 42.1% (р < 0.01), Prevotella spp. to 14.3%, Clostridium spр. to 66.7% (р < 0,001). With MAFAnM to 38.5% (р < 0.05) in Lactobacillus spp. and to 50.0% (р < 0.01) in Streptococcus spp. Higher compared with the control, antilysozyme activity was in Bacteroides spp. (р < 0.05), Eubacterium spp. (р < 0,001), Propionіbacterium spp. (р < 0.01), Peptostreptococcus spp. (р < 0.05), Fusobacterium spp. (р < 0.01), E. coli lact. «+» hem «-» (р < 0.05), Klebsiella spp. (р < 0.001), Citrobacter spp. (р < 0.01), Enterococcus spp. (р < 0.05), Staphylococcus spp. (р<0.001), Candida spp. (р<0.001) abstracted from the distal intestine of pigs affected with mixed nematodosis - protoozic invasion. With the action of products of vital functions of ascarices, eymeria and balantides, the anticomplementary activity significantly increases in Prevotella spp. (р < 0.01), Clostridium spр. (р < 0.001), Eubacterium spp. (р < 0.001), Propionіbacterium spp. (р < 0.001), Peptostreptococcus spp. (р < 0,001), Fusobacterium spp. (р < 0.001), Lactobacillus spp. (р < 0.05), E. coli lact. «+» hem «-» (р < 0.01), E. coli lact. «-» hem «+» (р < 0.001), Klebsiella spp. (р < 0.05), Enterobacter spp. (р < 0.001), Enterococcus spp. (р < 0.001), Streptococcus spp. (р < 0.001) and only in Bacteroides spp. it was significantly lower (р < 0.001), compared with the control.

Εισαγωγή: Η τοποθέτηση ενδοπροσθέσεων στα χοληφόρα αποτελεί πλέον μια καθιερωμένη μέθοδο για την αντιμετώπιση κακοήθων και καλοήθων παθήσεων των χοληφόρων. Ωστόσο, το μεγαλύτερο μειονέκτημα των πλαστικών ενδοπροσθέσεων είναι η απόφραξη τους εξαιτίας του μικροβιακού αποικισμό τους.Μέθοδος: Σε διάστημα τριών ετών, 51 πλαστικές ενδοπροσθέσεις αφαιρέθηκαν από 42 ασθενείς. Είκοσι τρεις ενδοπροσθέσεις τοποθετήθηκαν για την αντιμετώπιση κακοήθων και 28 για καλοήθων παθήσεων. Το προς εξέταση υλικό ελήφθη βάσει συγκεκριμένου πρωτόκολλου και εστάλη άμεσα για καλλιέργεια.Αποτελέσματα: Σχεδόν όλες οι ενδοπροσθέσεις παρουσίασαν πολυμικροβιακή ανάπτυξη. Οι συχνότερα απομονωθέντες μικροοργανισμοί ήταν ο Enterococcus spp (74%),η E.coli (62%) και η Klebsiella spp (58%). Η E.coli αναπτύχθηκε συχνότερα σε καλοήθεις απ’ότι σε κακοήθεις παθήσεις (78% vs. 43%, p<0.05). Η Klebsiella spp, η Pseudomonas spp και η Candida spp απομονώθηκαν συχνότερα σε αποφραγμένες σε σχέση με τις μη αποφραγμένες ενδοπροσθέσεις, 68% vs. 37%, 22% vs. 0 και 40% vs. 6% αντίστοιχα (p<0.05). Η E.coli και η Pseudomonas spp παρουσίασαν 34% και 50% αντίσταση στις κινολόνες αντίστοιχα. Το 35% των εντεροβακτηροειδών εμφάνισαν υπερπαραγωγή της Amp-C. Τέλος, ο Enterococcus spp, η Klebsiella spp και η Pseudomonas spp δεν ανέπτυξαν υψηλές αντιστάσεις σε προωθημένα αντιβιοτικά.Συμπέρασμα: Τα συχνότερα απομονωθέντα βακτήρια σε πλαστικές ενδοπροσθέσεις ήταν κατά σειρά ο Enterococcus spp,η E.coli και η Klebsiella spp. Στις αποφραγμένες ενδοπροσθέσεις η Pseudomonas spp και η Candida spp πρέπει να υπολογίζονται στο σχεδιασμό της θεραπείας. Οι κινολόνες φαίνεται ότι δεν είναι πλέον επαρκείς στην αντιμετώπιση χολαγγειΐτιδας σε αποφραγμένες ενδοπροσθέσεις. Τέλος, σε ασθενείς υπό χημειοθεραπεία και σήψη σχετιζόμενη με απόφραξη των ενδοπροσθέσεων θα πρέπει να εξετάζεται η χρήση αντιμυκητιασικών και έναντι του εντερόκοκκου παραγόντων.

The changes in lipolytic, lysozyme and hemolytic activity of the intestinal microflora of piglets invaded with the association of ascaris, imyrium and balantidium have been studied. It has been established that among microorganisms isolated from the distal intestine of piglets, lipase is synthesized by Bacteroides spp., Prevotella spp., Clostridium sp. and Peptostreptococcus spp., E. coli lact. «-» hem +, Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Candida spp. In pigs affected by ascaris, emerya, and balantidium, the number of strains producing lipase was higher compared to healthy ones, namely: Bacteroides spp. – by 20.2%, Prevotella spp. – by 3.7%, Clostridium spp. – 29.2% and Peptostreptococcus spp. – by 14.9%, Staphylococcus spp. – by 67.7%, Streptococcus spp. – by 19.1%, E. coli lact. «-» heme «+» – by 17.3%, Candida spp. – 16.5% and Enterobacter spp. – by 4.8%. Lysozyme activity was detected in Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. Significant differences in the penetrance of lysozyme activity of microorganisms in healthy and affected by ascarids, imedium, and balantidias of piglets were observed in Lactobacillus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. (P < 0.001). At the same time, in piglets, compared with healthy animals, the number of Lactobacillus spp. Strains that showed lysozyme activity decreased, while Bifidobacterium spp. and Staphylococcus spp. – grew. Bifidobacterium spp., Eubacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp., E. coli lact. «+» Hem «-», Enterobacter spp. and Citrobacter spp. there is no ability to produce hemolysins. Among lactosonegative gastric sticks, all strains isolated from both healthy and sick pigs showed hemolytic activity. The associative influence of ascaris, imerium and balantidii, showed an increase in the penetrance of hemolytic activity in Bacteroides spp. – by 45.8%, Prevotella spp. – by 26.8%, Clostridium spp. – 42.1%, Propionibacterium spp. – 41.5%, Peptostreptococcus spp. – 29.1% and Fusobacterium spp. – by 16.4%, Klebsiella spp. – by 33.4%, Enterococcus spp. – by 69.6%, Streptococcus spp. – by 66.0%, Staphylococcus spp. – by 64.5% and Candida spp. – by 11.5%.

AbstractLiver abscess is a rare but potentially fatal disease with mortality rates of 2 – 12 %. The spectrum of causative microorganisms varies across the world and is changing due to increasing worldwide travel activity. As a result, previously less frequent pathogens must increasingly be considered in the differential diagnosis. The most common pathogens of liver abscess are so-called abscess streptococci, anaerobes and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Certain clones among the Gram-negatives, typically among Klebsiella spp., harbour specific virulence factors and are therefore referred to as hypervirulent clones which spread worldwide. In any case, the causative agent should be identified before anti-infective treatment is initiated. Several pathogens such as Candida spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus are uncommon and only detected in a specific context. Various therapeutic regimens are available for anti-infective therapy. Usually an empirical therapy is started, combining mostly β-lactam antibiotics or quinolones with anaerobically active substances.
