Gomes-Sampaio, L. M.; Cláudia-Ferreira, A.; Prata, J. C.; Azevedo, R. M. S.; Pacheco, P.; Campos, Carla; Novais, C.; Peixe, L.; Dinis-Oliveira, R. J.Staphylococcus aureusis the leading bacterial cause of death globally. Nasal carriage of S. aureusincreases the risk of invasive infections, including by methicillin-resistant S. aureus(MRSA) strains, but studies including Portuguese university students (PUS) are scarce. To analyse the prevalence of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus(MSSA) and MRSA among PUS enrolled in different courses/years (1st-4th) at IUCS-...
High occurrence of multidrug-resistant Esche-richia colifrom Holstein-Friesian ...
Quinteira, S.; Dias, A.B.; Pinho, L.; Brito, N.V.; Campos, Carla; Freitas, A.R.; Miranda, C.Escherichia coli is currently a leading pathogen for deaths associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR related to food-producing animals is a public health risk requiring a One Health approach. Animals are major reservoirs of antibiotic resistant E. coli which can easily reach humans through the food chain, direct contact, or the environment. To analyze the AMR profiles of E. coli in fecal samples from...
Long-term dissemination of an OXA-40 carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baum...
Silva, G. J. da; Quinteira, S.; Bértolo, E.; Sousa, J. C.; Gallego, L.; Duarte, A.; Peixe, L.Objective: The main objectives of this study were to assess the clonal relatedness of Acinetobacter baumannii carbapenem-resistant isolates recovered from the Iberian Peninsula and to investigate the production of carbapenemases. Methods: One hundred and sixty-two imipenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates were collected from 1998 to 2003 in three Portuguese university hospitals. An imipenem-resistant isolate (98...
