Objective: To analyze the microbiological quality of sausages from different regions of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and to study the susceptibility profile of the bacteria isolated from these samples. Methods: Microbiological analysis was performed using the multiple tube technique (Most Probable Number per gram of sample) and the susceptibility profile by the Kirby-Bauer method. Results: The results of the...
Platelet transfusion therapy has played an important role in the treatment of patients with hematological and oncological diseases. However, platelet transfusion represents a risk for bacterial sepsis. Platelet Concentrates (PCs) are blood components with the highest rate of bacterial contamination, being responsible for the vast majority of septic transfusion reactions. Among contaminants, coagulase-negative S...
In recent years, several studies have described the clinical impact of bacterial infection associated with transfusion of platelet concentrates (PCs). Among the blood components, PCs are responsible for the highest rates of bacterial contamination as well as septic transfusion reactions. We assessed antimicrobial susceptibility profile, resistance to methicillin (MRCoNS), and resistance to macrolides, lincosami...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Blood transfusions have always been great support for monitoring the treatment of cancer, especially patients in the sectors of hematology-oncology, but still stand out as a major source of transmission of infectious diseases, today the bacteria. Platelet concentrates (PCs) are the blood components with higher frequency of bacterial contamination and ...
