KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a hospital in the Midwest region of Br...
Biberg,Camila Arguelo; Rodrigues,Ana Claudia Souza; Carmo,Sidiane Ferreira do; Chaves,Claudia Elizabeth Volpe; Gales,Ana CristinaThe emergence of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the last few decades has become major challenge faced by hospitals. In this study, isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2)-producing K. pneumoniae from a tertiary hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, were characterized. Bacterial identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF;...

Chang,Marilene Rodrigues; Biberg,Camila Arguelo; Lopes,Fernando Aguilar; Tetila,Andyane Freitas; Pignatari,Antonio Carlos CamposThe increased frequency and dissemination of enterobacteria resistant to various antimicrobials is currently worldwide concern. In January 2010, a 94-year-old patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia was admitted to the University Hospital. This patient died 21 days after hospitalization due to the clinical worsening. Klebsiella pneumoniae producing of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) was isolated of uri...

Gauna,Tamara Trelha; Oshiro,Elizete; Luzio,Yuri Correa; Paniago,Anamaria Mello Miranda; Pontes,Elenir Rose Jardim Cury; Chang,Marilene RodriguesIntroduction 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 cohort study was conducted in a public teaching hospital in c...

Gouveia,Eliana Maria Ferreira; Silva,Iandara Schettert; Nakazato,Gerson; Araujo,Flábio Ribeiro de; Chang,Marilene RodriguesPURPOSE: To verify the possibility of an experimental infection with enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and to confirm by PCR that the symptoms manifested after infection were due to the virulence factors of the studied bacteria. METHODS: Experimental units were 14 healthy pups of Boxer breed, aged 60 days. The animals were divided into three groups. One animal from each litter was included in a control group an...
