37. Nosocomial infections in a neonatal intensive care unit during 16 years: 1997-2012
Introduction Surveillance of nosocomial infections (NIs) is an essential part of quality patient care; however, there are few reports of National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) surveillance in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and none in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of NIs, causative organisms, and antim

38. Active surveillance to determine the impact of methicillin resistance on mortality in patients with bacteremia and influences of the use of antibiotics on the development of MRSA infection
Introduction Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is among the most important pathogens of nosocomial infections, mainly in intensive care units (ICUs), and accounts for 40-60% of all healthcare-associated S. aureus infections. We evaluated the incidence of nosocomial infection by S. aureus, identified the risk factors for MRSA infection, and

39. Bloodstream infection in patients with end-stage renal disease in a teaching hospital in central-western Brazil
Introduction Vascular access in patients undergoing hemodialysis is considered a critical determinant of bloodstream infection (BSI) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of BSI in patients with end-stage renal disease using central venous catheters for hemodialysis. Methods A coho

40. Determination of germ tube, phospholipase, and proteinase production by bloodstream isolates of Candida albicans
Introduction Candida albicans is a commensal and opportunistic agent that causes infection in immunocompromised individuals. Several attributes contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of this yeast, including the production of germ tubes (GTs) and extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, particularly phospholipase and proteinase. This study aimed to investig

41. Brazilian guidelines for the management of candidiasis - a joint meeting report of three medical societies: Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia, Sociedade Paulista de Infectologia and Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Candida infections account for 80% of all fungal infections in the hospital environment, including bloodstream, urinary tract and surgical site infections. Bloodstream infections are now a major challenge for tertiary hospitals worldwide due to their high prevalence and mortality rates. The incidence of candidemia in tertiary public hospitals in Brazil is ap

42. Neutropenic patients and their infectious complications at a University Hospital
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics and infectious complications of neutropenic patients in a referral hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out between April and September 2008, which enrolled all neutropenic patients identified by daily blood counts in the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Demographic da

43. Healthcare-associated Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection: length of stay, attributable mortality, and additional direct costs
This study aimed to determine the excess length of stay, extra expenditures, and attributable mortality to healthcare-associated S. aureus bloodstream infection (BSI) at a teaching hospital in central Brazil. The study design was a matched (1:1) case-control. Cases were defined as patients > 13 years old, with a healthcare-associated S. aureus BSI. Controls

44. Risk factors for pan-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia and the adequacy of antibiotic therapy
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for acquiring carbapenemresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia (CR-PA) and factors associated with in-hospital mortality. METHODS: Seventy-seven cases of bacteremia caused by P. aeruginosa were evaluated in a hospital with high incidence of CR-PA. Clinical and laboratorial factors, and pr

45. The persistence of multifocal colonisation by a single ABC genotype of Candida albicans may predict the transition from commensalism to infection
Candida albicans is a common member of the human microbiota and may cause invasive disease in susceptible populations. Several risk factors have been proposed for candidaemia acquisition. Previous Candida multifocal colonisation among hospitalised patients may be crucial for the successful establishment of candidaemia. Nevertheless, it is still not clear whe

46. Efeito da dose de cefepime, piperacilina-tazobactam e meropenem na mortalidade de pacientes com infecção da corrente sanguínea por enterobactérias
Introdução: estudos de farmacocinética/farmacodinâmica (FC/FD) observaram que a probabilidade de alcançar o alvo FC/FD é maior quando a dose do beta-lactâmico é otimizada. Porém, poucos estudos demonstraram que a otimização de dose resulta em melhores desfechos clínicos. Métodos: Fatores associados com mortalidade em 30 dias foram avaliados em 1

47. Infecção de corrente sanguínea em pacientes ambulatoriais transplantados de medula óssea / Bloodstream infection on bone marrow transplanted outpatient patients
Introdução: Infecção de corrente sanguínea é uma das principais complicações dos pacientes transplantados de medula óssea. Poucos estudos avaliam os pacientes transplantados que realizam acompanhamento ambulatorial. Objetivos: Descrever o perfil dos agentes isolados de infecção de corrente sanguínea de pacientes transplantados que realizam acompa

48. Impacto da introdução do sistema microbiológico automatizado Phoenix na evolução clínica das infecções de corrente sanguínea hospitalares por Enterobacteriaceae / Impact of the introduction of the Phoenix automated microbiology system on clinical outcomes of nosocomial bloodstream infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae
The family Enterobacteriaceae is an important cause of bloodstream infections (BSI). The increasing antimicrobial resistance is a complicating factor in treating these infections, thus the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) plays a key role in the analysis of susceptibility. Until August 2007, the antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of blood cultu
