1. Secondary bacterial infections in patients with coronavirus disease 2019-associated pneumonia
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The vast majority of patients who hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 are given empirical antibiotic therapy. However, information on the frequency, microorganism species, and resistance rates of secondary bacterial infections in coronavirus disease 2019 patients are insufficient. We aimed to show the frequency of secondary infecti

2. Psychrotrophic bacteria in Brazilian organic dairy products: identification, production of deteriorating enzymes and biofilm formation
Abstract The psychrotrophic bacteria count and the profile of Gram-negative bacteria present in commercial Brazilian organic dairy products (27 samples, pasteurized whole milk, Minas Frescal cheese, and yoghurt, equally distributed) as well as the biofilm-producing capacity and the production of deteriorating enzymes were investigated. Most of the samples (5

4. Total antibiotic use in a state-wide area and resistance patterns in Brazilian hospitals: an ecologic study
ABSTRACT Introduction: Use of antibiotic and bacterial resistance is the result of a complex interaction not completely understood. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of entire antimicrobial use (community plus hospitals) on the incidence of bloodstream infections in intensive care units adjusted by socioeconomic factors, quality of healthcare, and access

5. Carbapenem-resistant bacilli in a hospital in southern Brazil: prevalence and therapeutic implications
Abstract Background Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), notably Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Klebsiella spp., are becoming increasingly resistant to carbapenems and are associated with high health care costs and mortality, becoming a global concern. Objective To determine the prevalence rates of carbapenem resistance among Acinetobacter spp., Pseudom

6. Antibacterial Activity of 2-Amino-1,4-naphthoquinone Derivatives against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacterial Strains and Their Interaction with Human Serum Albumin
A series of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives (NQA-NQF) was synthesized by alternative methods (ultrasonication and microwave irradiation), with yields ranging from 40 to 71%, and without the need of further recrystallization. Each compound was evaluated against four Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Baci

8. Investigation of carbapenemases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered from patients admitted to intensive care units in a tertiary-care hospital in Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii are opportunistic bacteria, highly capable of acquiring antimicrobial resistance through the production of carbapenemases and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs). METHODS: Carbapenemase and AME genes were investigated in A. baumannii recovered from inpatients of a Brazilian hospital. RESULTS: The key gen

9. Pseudomonas spp. and other psychrotrophic microorganisms in inspected and non-inspected Brazilian Minas Frescal cheese: proteolytic, lipolytic and AprX production potential
RESUMO: O mais consumido no Brasil, o queijo Minas Frescal (QMF) é altamente suscetível à contaminação microbiana e a produção e comercialização clandestina podem representar um risco para a saúde do consumidor. O armazenamento deste produto fresco sob refrigeração, embora mais apropriado, pode favorecer a multiplicação de bactérias psicrotró

10. Acinetobacter baumannii infections in Amazon Region driven by extensively drug resistant international clones, 2016-2018
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections. This species is characterised by the presence of pandemic lineages (International Clones) that present a broad antimicrobial resistance profile. OBJECTIVE To perform the molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii from a clinical setting in the Amazon Basin, an

11. Characterization of Acinetobacter spp. from raw goat Milk
RESUMO: O leite de cabra tem sido sugerido como alternativa ao leite de vaca, sendo uma opção com melhor digestibilidade e menor alergenicidade. No entanto, a presença de bactérias contaminantes pode afetar significativamente a segurança do produto. Neste trabalho, relatamos o isolamento e caracterização de Acinetobacter spp. isolados de amostras de

12. High rate of detection of OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter from two general hospitals in Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION In recent decades, the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter isolates has increased, and the production of oxacillinase (OXA)-type carbapenemases is the main mechanism underlying resistance. We evaluated OXA production from 114 Acinetobacter isolates collected between March and December 2013 from different clinical specimen
