Rápidos, portáteis e acessíveis, os aparelhos celulares foram incorporados às atividades e rotinas diárias da população. Diante de tal intimidade, esses aparelhos também passaram a se constituir em um meio de crescimento para agentes microbiológicos comensais e acidentais. Medidas de controle como a adoção de boas práticas de higiene são imprescindíveis para a diminuição da carga microbiológica e, por consequência, decréscimo dos riscos de transmissão destes agentes ao homem, principalmente em imunodeprimidos. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho objetivou identificar os micro-organismos presentes em aparelhos celulares de acadêmicos e professores da Universidade de Cuiabá (UNIC), Campus Primavera do Leste – MT, através de amostragens obtidas de 24 aparelhos de telefones celulares de voluntários. Foram realizadas coletas para cada um dos aparelhos celulares disponibilizados pelos voluntários, através de um swab de transporte. Este foi deslizado na parte externa do aparelho, cobrindo toda a área da tela, conectores e alto-falante e, em seguida, inseridos em meio Stuart e remetidos ao laboratório. Do total de amostras coletadas, 19 (79,1%) apresentaram crescimento bacteriano em meio de cultura nutritivo. Os micro-organismos isolados foram Staphylococcus aureus em seis amostras (31,6%), Staphylococcus lugdunensis em outras seis (31,6%), Staphylococcus epidermidis em três (15,8%), Staphylococcus spp. em três (5,8%) e Escherichia coli em uma (5,2%) das amostras. Diante dos resultados obtidos se pôde constatar que os aparelhos celulares podem atuar como meio de multiplicação microbiológica, assim se deve adotar medidas preventivas de higiene e antissepsia das mãos e destes aparelhos, a fim de evitar a proliferação e veiculação de micro-organismos por meio destes. Palavras-chave: Telefone Celular. Staphylococcus aureus.  Escherichia coli. AbstractFast, portable and affordable, mobile phones have been incorporated into the daily activities and routines of the population. Faced with such intimacy, these devices have also become a growth medium for commensal and accidental microbiological agents. Control measures such as the adoption of good hygiene practices are essential to reduce the microbiological load and, consequently, decrease the risks of transmission of these agents to humans, especially in immunosuppressed ones. Thus, the present work aimed to identify the microorganisms present in cell phones of academics and professors of the University of Cuiabá (UNIC), Campus Primavera do Leste - MT, through samples obtained from 24 cell phones of volunteers. The samples  were collected for each of the mobile devices made available by the volunteers through a transport swab. This was slid on the external part of the device, covering the entire display area, connectors and speaker, then inserted into Stuart medium and sent to the lab. Of the total samples collected, only 19 (79.1%) showed bacterial growth in nutrient culture medium. Microorganisms isolated from growth media were Staphylococcus aureus in six samples (31.6%), Staphylococcus lugdunensis in six (31.6%), Staphylococcus epidermidis in three (15.8%), Staphylococcus spp. in three (5.8%) and Escherichia coli in one (5.2%) of the samples. Given the results obtained, it can be seen that cell phones can act as a means of microbiological multiplication, so preventive measures of hygiene and antisepsis of  hands should be adopted, in order to prevent the proliferation and spread of microorganisms through them . Keyword: Cell Phone. Staphylococcus aureus.  Escherichia coli.

RESUMO O uso de plantas medicinais no tratamento de doenças é uma estratégia antiga utilizada por praticamente todas as populações do mundo, e, embora novos antibióticos tenham sido desenvolvidos para o controle de micro-organismos infecciosos, às vezes são ineficazes. Diversos extratos de plantas medicinais têm efeitos antimicrobianos, principalmente quando associados à antibióticos de uso clínico, representando alternativa terapêutica para doenças infecciosas. Montrichardia linifera, conhecida popularmente como aninga, é espécie macrófita, aquática emergente de hábito herbáceo, pertencente a família Araceae e ocorre em áreas alagáveis. A utilidade farmacológica desta espécie é diversificada tendo sido relatada como cicatrizante, antirreumático, antidiurético e expectorante. Devido à relevância no campo etnofarmacológico, ampla utilização na medicina popular e escassez de trabalhos relacionados à atividade antibacteriana desta espécie, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a atividade antibacteriana de extratos alcoólicos de folhas de Montrichardia linifera, coletadas na margem do rio Igaraçu, Parnaíba-PI. O extrato foi testado em oito cepas de bactérias: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae e Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de verificação da formação de halos de inibição e determinação das concentrações inibitórias e bactericidas mínimas. Os testes antibacterianos evidenciaram como principais resultados que o extrato metanólico seco (EMS), extrato metanólico fresco (EMF), e o extrato etanólico seco (EES), apresentaram ação antibacteriana, enquanto o extrato etanólico fresco (EEF) não apresentou atividade para as bactérias testadas. O EMS foi o mais eficiente, inibindo o crescimento bacteriano na concentração de 200 μg/mL para E. faecalis, 400 μg/mL para S. aureus, 400 μg/mL para S. epidermidis e 2.000 μg/mL para P. aeruginosa. O EMF obteve CIM de 2.000 μg/mL para E. faecalis e EES obteve CIM de 250 μg/mL para E. faecalis. Os resultados demonstraram que M. linifera constitui fonte eficiente de compostos bioativos antibacterianos. Os estudos sobre as propriedades farmacológicas de plantas da família Araceae são escassos, e os resultados deste trabalho são pioneiros em relação a atividade antibacteriana desta espécie.

Οι μέθοδοι ανίχνευσης και προσδιορισμού ειδικών αλληλουχιών νουκλεϊκών οξέων βασίζονται στην υβριδοποίηση (μοριακή αναγνώριση) του αναλύτη με συμπληρωματικό μόριο DNA/RNA, το οποίο είναι συνδεδεμένο, άμεσα ή έμμεσα, με κατάλληλο ιχνηθέτη για παραγωγή σήματος. Το φάσμα εφαρμογών των μεθόδων υβριδοποίησης συνεχώς διευρύνεται, κυρίως ως αποτέλεσμα της προόδου των προγραμμάτων προσδιορισμού της αλληλουχίας του γονιδιώματος του ανθρώπου και άλλων οργανισμών. Σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής είναι αφενός η ανάπτυξη μεθόδων υβριδοποίησης που παρέχουν τη δυνατότητα ταυτόχρονου προσδιορισμού πολλών αλληλουχιών νουκλεϊκών οξέων και αφετέρου η απλοποίηση των μεθόδων υβριδοποίησης με τη χρήση βιοαισθητήρα DNA. Στο Κεφάλαιο 1 της διατριβής περιγράφεται η αρχή της αλυσιδωτής αντίδρασης πολυμεράσης (PCR) και η αντίστροφη μεταγραφή-PCR (RT-PCR) ως οι πιο σημαντικές τεχνικές εκθετικού πολλαπλασιασμού ειδικών αλληλουχιών DNA και RNA, οι οποίες αποτελούν αναπόσπαστο μέρος κάθε σύγχρονης μεθόδου ανάλυσης νουκλεϊκών οξέων. Παρουσιάζεται επίσης η τεχνική της ποσοτικής PCR και διάφορες μέθοδοι προσδιορισμού των προϊόντων της PCR. Στο Κεφάλαιο 2 γίνεται παρουσίαση των δοκιμασιών υβριδοποίησης νουκλεϊκών οξέων, οι οποίες αποτελούν και τον ακρογωνιαίο λίθο της αναλυτικής χημείας του DNA και RNA. Περιγράφεται η εξέλιξη των ιχνηθετών από τα ραδιοϊσότοπα μέχρι τους πιο σύγχρονους μη ραδιενεργούς ιχνηθέτες που παρέχουν υψηλή ανιχνευσιμότητα και δυνατότητες αυτοματοποίησης. Παρουσιάζονται οι ομογενείς και ετερογενείς δοκιμασίες υβριδοποίησης και διάφορες παραλλαγές που διευκολύνουν την εκτέλεση τους. Στο Κεφάλαιο 3 παρέχεται σύντομη περιγραφή της αρχής λειτουργίας και της οργανολογίας της κυτταρομετρίας ροής, η οποία αποτελεί ένα ισχυρό αναλυτικό εργαλείο για τη διερεύνηση ιδιοτήτων μικροσωματιδίων (π.χ. κυττάρων αλλά και συνθετικών μικροσφαιριδίων). Αντικείμενο του Κεφαλαίου 4 είναι η ανάπτυξη πολλαπλών φθορισμομετρικών δοκιμασιών υβριδοποίησης DNA και RNA σε εναιώρημα φασματικά διακριτών μικροσφαιριδίων πολυστυρενίου. Κάθε μικροσφαιρίδιο περιέχει δύο φθορίζουσες χρωστικές σε συγκεκριμένη αναλογία και με αυτό τον τρόπο έχει καταστεί ένα φασματικά κωδικοποιημένο στερεό υπόστρωμα για την εκτέλεση δοκιμασιών υβριδοποίησης. Ειδικά ολιγονουκλεοτίδια-ανιχνευτές προσδένονται ομοιοπολικά στην επιφάνεια κάθε μικροσφαιριδίου. Η αλληλουχία του DNA- ή RNA-στόχου (αναλύτης) υβριδοποιείται με τα ακινητοποιημένα ολιγονουκλεοτίδια και τα υβρίδια ποσοτικοποιούνται με άλλη φθορίζουσα ουσία. Το εναιώρημα αναλύεται με κυτταρομετρητή ροής με ανιχνευτή φθορισμού επαγώμενου με δύο πηγές λέιζερ. Μελετήθηκε ο προσδιορισμός μονόκλωνου DNA, δίκλωνου DNA και RNA και πραγματοποιήθηκαν πειράματα ανάλυσης γονιδιακής έκφρασης σε ασθενείς με λευχαιμία. Στο Κεφάλαιο 5 παρουσιάζεται ο πρώτος βιοαισθητήρας DNA τύπου εμβαπτιζόμενης ταινίας ξηρών αντιδραστηρίων για την ανίχνευση 7 χρωμοσωμικών αλληλομεταθέσεων, οι οποίες σχετίζονται άμεσα με την οξεία ή τη χρόνια λευχαιμία. Ο βιοαισθητήρας βασίζεται σε ολιγονουκλεοτίδια συζευγμένα με νανοσωματίδια χρυσού και επιτρέπει την ταυτοποίηση των αλληλομεταθέσεων δια γυμνού οφθαλμού, έπειτα από πολλαπλασιασμό με RT-PCR. Σε αντίθεση με τις μέχρι τώρα χρησιμοποιούμενες μεθόδους ανίχνευσης αλληλομεταθέσεων, η ανάλυση με το βιοαισθητήρα είναι απλή, δεν απαιτεί ειδικά όργανα και αποφεύγει πολλά στάδια επωάσεων και εκπλύσεων. Αντικείμενο του Κεφαλαίου 6 της διατριβής είναι η ανάπτυξη μεθόδου υβριδοποίησης DNA για την ταχεία ανίχνευση βακτηριακής επιμόλυνσης σε αρθροπλαστικές επεμβάσεις, ένα σημαντικό πρόβλημα στην ορθοπεδική. Απομονώνεται DNA από δείγματα αρθρικού υγρού, ακολουθεί πολλαπλασιασμός με PCR χρησιμοποιώντας καθολικούς εκκινητές και ανίχνευση των προϊόντων με βιοαισθητήρα DNA. Ανιχνεύονται οι μικροοργανισμοί Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Haemophilus influenza, Enterococcus faesium και Streptococcus pneumoniae. Στο Κεφάλαιο 7 περιγράφεται η εφαρμογή του βιοαισθητήρα DNA για την ανίχνευση γενετικά τροποποιημένων οργανισμών (GMO) σε τρόφιμα. Αν και η παρουσία GMO μπορεί να διαπιστωθεί με ανίχνευση είτε της νέας πρωτεΐνης που συνθέτει το διαγονιδιακό φυτό ή της αλληλουχίας DNA που έχει εισαχθεί σ’ αυτό, το DNA είναι ο προτιμότερος αναλύτης λόγω της μεγαλύτερης σταθερότητάς του, ιδιαίτερα σε επεξεργασμένα τρόφιμα. Χαρακτηριστικές αλληλουχίες DNA που περιέχονται στα περισσότερα GMO, δηλαδή ο προαγωγέας 35S και ο τερματιστής NOS, πολλαπλασιάζονται με PCR και τα προϊόντα ανιχνεύονται με δοκιμασία υβριδοποίησης στο βιοαισθητήρα DNA. Η παρούσα εργασία εισάγει, για πρώτη φορά στο πεδίο της ανάλυσης GMO, έναν βιοαισθητήρα DNA τύπου εμβαπτιζόμενης ταινίας ξηρών αντιδραστηρίων.

A espécie Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham, popularmente conhecida como “marapuama” ou “muirapuama”, é uma Olacaceae nativa da região norte do Brasil, há muito conhecida e utilizada por suas propriedades estimulantes e afrodisíacas, sendo inclusive exportada para diversos países. O estudo fitoquímico do lenho desta árvore, neste trabalho representado pelos galhos da planta, revelou a presença majoritária de vários ácidos graxos, esteróides e xantinas, sendo eles: ácido palmítico, ácido esteárico, -sitosterol, estigmasterol, lupeol, glutinol, a-amirina, cafeína, teobromina e adenina, sendo que as três últimas não haviam ainda sido reportadas na espécie. O estudo das atividades antimicrobianas revelou que os extratos da planta não apresentam atividade inibitória sobre o desenvolvimento de cepas de Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus ou Staphylococcus epidermidis. Porém, o resíduo do extrato alcoólico apresenta uma significativa ação inibitória do crescimento micelial de Colletotrichum acutatum, e ação menos pronunciada sobre o crescimento de Fusarium oxysporum. PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF Ptychopetalumolacoides Bentham Abstract Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham, popularly known as “marapuama” or “muirapuama”, is an Olacaceae native from north Brazil, known and used for its stimulating and aphrodisiac properties for a long time, being also exported to several countries all over the world. The phytochemical study of the wood of this tree, represented by its stems, revealed the presence of several fatty acids, sterols and xanthines, including palmitic acid, stearic acid, -sitosterol, stigmasterol, lupeol, glutinol, a-amirin, caffeine, theobromine and adenine, and the latest three substances have not been reported in this specie yet. The study of antimicrobial properties revealed that the plant extracts don’t have any inhibitory activity against strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis. However, the alcoholic extract residue does have a remarkable inhibitory action on the mycelial growth of Colletotrichum acutatum and Fusarium oxysporum.26
