Perfil de virulência e resistência aos antimicrobianos em Staphylococcus haemolyticus, S. warneri, S. lugdunensis e S. hominis

Estudar o perfil patogênico e de resistência aos antimicrobianos em amostras de Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus lugdunensis e Staphylococcus hominis. Foram estudadas 65 amostras isoladas de pacientes do Hospital das Clínicas da FMB, Botucatu, sendo 23 S. haemolyticus, 23 S. hominis, 10 S. warneri e 9 S. lugdunensis. Foram pesquisados por PCR os genes responsáveis pela produção de biofilme (icaA, icaC, icaD), genes de enterotoxinas (sea, seb, sec, sed), Toxina 1 da Síndrome do Choque Tóxico (tst) e resistência à oxacilina (mecA). Das 65 amostras estudadas, 83% apresentaram ao menos um dos genes das toxinas pesquisadas, 87,7% um dos genes ica e 63,1% o gene mecA. O SCCmec foi tipado por PCR-Multiplex, sendo o tipo I o mais prevalente (34,1%). A heterorresistência à vancomicina foi pesquisada através da triagem em ágar BHI com 4 μg ml-1, encontrada em 36,9% das amostras, e com 6 μg ml-1 de vancomicina, encontrada em 15,4%. Todas as espécies estudadas foram altamente toxigênicas. A presença do SCCmec I apresentou relação com a heterorresistência à vancomicina. Ainda, S. hominis e S. haemolyticus se revelaram mais virulentos e resistentes, levando em conta os fatores de virulência, resistência à oxacilina e heterorresistência à vancomicina. A evidência e a necessidade de maior preocupação com as espécies S. hominis e S. haemolyticus ficou clara, o que ainda não havia sido relatado, bem como a relação entre a presença de SCCmec I e heterorresistência à vancomicina

Qualidade higiênico-sanitária de sorvetes e sobremesas, na cidade de Botucatu, SP, Brasil, e verificação da produção de enterotoxinas por Staphylococcus aureus

Food poisoning can cause infection on its consumers by the presence of pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, it is important to check its quality, which can be affected by many factors. The sanitary quality of foods can be assessed by thermotolerant coliform. Since food safety is a matter of great concern, this study aimed to evaluate the hygienic sanitary conditions of samples of ice cream and desserts marketed in the city of Botucatu, by determining the most probable number (MPN) of thermotolerant coliform, identification and enumeration of coagulase positive staphylococci and verification of classical enterotoxin production by strains of S. aureus and also for detecting the presence of Salmonella sp. Among the ice cream analyzed, 56.3% were unfit for consumption and between the creamy desserts, the percentage of unfit samples was 33.3%. Coagulase positive Staphylococcus and Salmonella were not found in the samples. It is then an inadequacy in handling and / or storage conditions in a considerable number of samples, indicating need for improvement in the conditions of preparation

Qualidade microbiológica de peixes e frutos do mar em Botucatu, SP

whole world. The world production of fish is around 100 million tons/year and 70% of them is destined exclusively to the human feeding. The fish and derived have a great importance in the human diet, contributing with ¼ of offer of protein of animal origin. Sseafood and fish are health, because they are rich in proteins, vitamins, micronutrients and insatured fats. However, one of the most important themes, in public health, refers to the safe food. Only in the USA, 76 million case of foodborne diseases occurs every year, with 325 thousand hospitalized and 5 thousand deaths. According to the microbiological parameters, the Brazilian Food Sanitation Standard (Decree No. 12, 2001) defined that fish, roes of fish, crustaceans and mollusks in natura cooled or frozen, no consumed raw should present up to 103 MPN of coagulase positive Staphylococcus in the absence of Salmonella in 25g. Based on this, this work verified the microbiological quality of fish and seafood retailed in supermarkets and fish store in Botucatu city. A hundred samples were analyzed, being 65 frozen (65%) and 35 cooled (35%). The samples included various kinds of fish and seafood. Among the frozen samples, 31 were fish and 34 seafood. About the cooled ones, 28 were fish and 7 seafood. The methods used for analysis are in agreement with APHA (2001). The samples were acquired in 4 establishments (3 supermarkets and a fish store). Ina total of 100 samples, all were negative to coagulase positive Staphylococcus and 2 were positive for Salmonella (2%). According to the results, we conclude that the presence of Salmonella is a risk factor for the consumers' health and these foods should not be consumed raw. In spite of the freezing to be a good conservation way, this process doesn't totally eliminate the pathogens of the food

Augusta: Rua de mão dupla

This project is about a book-report, which will discuss the Augusta Street in São Paulo, a place emblematic of the city, one of its biggest and most famous streets and that has been the scene of several transformations of the country. From the heady days of Jovem Guarda to the decadence of the inferninhos locus of prostitution and drugs. Currently the route passes through a dubious process of revitalization. Then comes the question of when life ceased to exist in Augusta and the desire to capture in words the transitory moment what is happening in this street. When you scroll through 3 km of the street you want to be seen as a flaneur, the two Augusta, one which lives on day and another whose life begins at night. Down the hills, draw a profile of one extraordinary street and lay bare the contradictions that make Augusta a two-way street

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico para a quantificação de ofloxacino colírio por turbidimetria

O ofloxacino, uma fluorquinolona de segunda geração, foi sintetizada em 1982, apresenta eficácia e segurança no tratamento comprovadas. A determinação da potência dos antimicrobianos é importante no controle e na garantia da qualidade das preparações farmacêuticas e faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de procedimentos práticos e econômicos que possam ser validados e aplicados no doseamento desses fármacos. Dentre os ensaios microbiológicos, os mais comumente empregados são o de difusão em ágar e o turbidimétrico. Na literatura, apenas são encontradas descrições de ensaios para o ofloxacino utilizando o método de difusão em ágar. O método turbidimétrico tem como uma das principais vantagens, a necessidade de menor tempo de análise. O método consiste na avaliação quantitativa de substâncias em função da turbidez de suas suspensões, proporcional a seu poder de difração sobre luz incidente (efeito Tyndall) (FB 5, 2010). O objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver um método microbiológico analítico para quantificação do ofloxacino que possa ser usado para análises rotineiras em laboratórios de controle de qualidade. Os parâmetros estudados para a validação do método analítico para quantificação do ofloxacino não atenderam a todas as especificações recomendadas. Assim sendo, pode-se concluir que este trabalho de conclusão de curso, não conseguiu atingir seu objetivo que era de desenvolver e validar uma metodologia analítica. O método demonstrou desenvolvimento complexo e trabalhoso e não apresentou o paralelismo e exatidão necessários para validação

Staphylococcus sp na produção primária de leite: aspectos de saúde pública

Staphylococcus is one of the more important causes of the called Foodborne Disease(FD), being that from the 40 species described from genus, the more important is Staphylococcus aureus. During years believed that the S. aureus was the only specie from genus able to produce enterotoxins, responsable for the clinical frame in humans, but latest studies report the isolation of other species both positive coagulase (PC) as negative with enterotoxigenic potential. The symptoms of this intoxication appear after a short period of incubation (2-6 hours) and usually characterized by nausea, vomits, abdominal ache, diarrhea, and rarely is fatal. For the toxin to be formed in food is necessary that bacteria population to be at least 105 UFC/g, being that such toxins characterized by presenting great resistance front of gastrointestinal proteases and of homemade termical treatment. Among the main foods that might carry the microorganism, the milk and its derivatives have highlights. The contamination of the product might happen as from the milk from cows with clinical and/or subclinical mastitis, as the Staphylococcus genus is one of the main agents etiologic from this disease, equipments utensils badly sanitized equipments and utensils and from the manipulators. The control of these factors configures as fundamental condition for the achievement of a safe, quality product, which doesn’t offer risk to the consumers

Estudo dos fatores de virulência e resistência à oxacilina em Staphylococcus spp. isolados de aspirado traqueal de pacientes em ventilação mecânica internados em UTI

Patients that are mechanically ventilated in ICUs are constantly exposed to different pathogens, which present multiantibiotic resistance. Among these microorganisms, is MRSA (Meticillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) considered to be a therapeutic challenge due to its resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. Therefore, this study proposed to identify species of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from mechanically ventilated patients in ICU, the gene mecA detection and the genes of the enterotoxins A (sea), B (seb), C (sec-1) and D (sed) in samples of S. aureus, as well as the phenotypic resistance determination to oxacillin using the disc-diffusion method with discs of oxacillin and cefoxitin. The samples collection occurred during in a period of 19 months, obtaining samples from 232 patients. A percentage of 39% (70) of Gram-positive cocci were found; which 82,8% (58) were identified as Staphylococcus spp,. among these, 75,8% (44) corresponded to S. aureus species and 47,7% were identified as MRSA. It was found resistance to both drugs in 31,8% of the S. aureus samples, 16 (36,3%) had the gene sea and 11 (25%) had the sec-1 gene. Among the coagulase-negative staphylococci obtained, the species most found was S. epidermidis, corresponding to 43% (6). The results revealed that one of the most important etiologic agents of VAP amid the Gram-positive cocci is the species S. aureus, with special attention to MRSA. The presence of enterotoxins genes in S. aureus did not showed determinant role in VAP, but the presence of these superantigens can contribute worsening the patient’s prognosis, since they are associated with intense inflammatory response

Indicadores de qualidade e composição de leite informal comercializado na região Sudeste do Estado de São Paulo

The informal milk is recognized as the product marketed without inspection. We evaluated the microbiological quality, nutritional ingredients and substances inhibiting bacterial growth in 100 informal samples from cows milk, marketed in the southwest region of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was found that 77% of Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and 86% of Total Bacterial Count (TBC) of the samples were at odds with the maximum values required by Instruction Rules 62 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Supply. It was identified to solids contents in disagreement (36%), protein (23%), fat (38%), nonfat dry extract (43%) and 73% urea nitrogen. In 59% of the samples was detected residues of the bacterial growth inhibitors. Were isolated 240 strains of micro-organisms with a prevalence of enterobacteria, streptococci, staphylococci and fungi. The informal milk is marketed in the region without the minimum hygienic conditions and present risks to public health, and represents serious socio-economic problem for the region.
