O óleo essencial de Piper aduncum (OEPA) e seu componente principal, o dilapiol (76,5%), foram avaliados quanto a atividade antibacteriana frente a diferentes cepas de Staphylococcus spp. ATCC e multirresistentes. Para os ensaios da atividade antibacteriana do OEPA e do dilapiol foram determinados a Concentração Mínima Inibitória (CIM) e a Concentração Bactericida Mínima (CBM), pela técnica da microdiluição e por contagem de Unidades Formadoras de Colônia (UFC), utilizando concentrações de 250, 500, 750 e 1000 μg/mL do OEPA e concentrações de 100 e 1000 μg/mL de dilapiol. O inóculo bacteriano utilizado foi ajustado a 1x104 a partir da escala 0,5 de Mc Farland. Como controle negativo foi utilizado o inóculo juntamente com Tween 20, solubilizante do óleo essencial e dilapiol, e como controle positivo, utilizou-se o cloranfenicol 0,05 mg/mL. Esses compostos foram testados frente as cepas de S. aureus ATCC 25923, S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, MRSA hospitalar, S.epidermidis e S. lentus multirresistentes de origem hospitalar. Os resultados mostraram que o OEPA apresentou a CIM90% de 500 μg/mL e a CBM de 1000 μg/mL frente a S. aureus ATCC 25923, cuja concentração de 500 μg/mL foi capaz de inibir 60% do crescimento bacteriano. Quanto à cepa MRSA, o OEPA mostrou uma inibição (10%) na concentração de 750 μg/mL, sendo a CIM90% obtida em 1000 μg/mL. Em S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, o OEPA mostrou atividade antimicrobiana, com a CIM90% em 500 μg/mL e CBM em 750 μg/mL. Para a cepa S. epidermidis multirresistente, o OEPA foi capaz de inibir somente 35% do crescimento dessa cepa na concentração de 750 μg/mL, mas obteve o valor de CIM90% em 1000 μg/mL. Quanto ao dilapiol, o composto apresentou atividade antimicrobiana contra a cepa de S. aureus ATCC 25923 na concentração de 1000 μg/mL, inibindo 100% do crescimento (CBM). Por outro lado, não apresentou efeito antimicrobiano sobre as cepas MRSA e S. lentus multirresistente. Além disso, o dilapiol inibiu somente 20% do crescimento de S. epidermidis ATCC 12228 e S. epidermidis multirresistente na concentração de 1000 μg/mL. Desta forma, os dados mostram uma moderada atividade antibacteriana do óleo essencial, sendo que o dilapiol mostrou fraca atividade antimicrobiana in vitro.

Staphylococcus are not usually studied in the oral cavity, when this happens, they are considered to belong to transitory microflora. Individuals that present periodontal disease represent possibles reservoirs of these opportunist bacteria in the oral cavity. The use of antibiotics whether for treatment of periodontal disease or due to hospital infections, may predispose the increase of the Staphylococcus spp. in the oral cavity because they easily become resistant to antibiotics, resulting in superinfection. The study was made with 88 patients, minimum age- 25 years old, presenting chronical periodontitis, with, at least, two sites having a probing pocket bigger or equal to 5mm. After anamnese and clinical periodontal examination samples were taken from the periodontal pocket using paper cones and from the oral cavity using mouth rinse. Of the total patients 37,50% presented Staphylococcus spp. in the periodontal pocket and 61,36% in lhe oral cavity; 27,27% presented bacteria in the two sites, not necessarily of the same specie. S. epidermidis was the most prevailing specie in periodontal pocket (15,9%) and oral cavity (27,27%). Positive for S. aureus in the periodontal pocket were 4,5% and for the oral cavity 25%, and 3,4% were positive for the two sites. There was not found significative statistical difference referring to the presence of the microorganisms as to age, smoking habit and increase of the probing depth. The majority of the isolated Staphylococcus samples showed resistance to the tested antibiotics, indicating that the drugs as an adjunct to periodontal therapy, must be seen with caution

Study the semi-quantitative and quantitative technique in the diagnosis of catheter-related infections in newborns and to determine oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus isolated. It was analyzed 353 catheter tips from 273 newborns in the Neonatal Unit of Hospital FMB. To confirm the diagnosis of infection, were analyzed the clinical data of newborns, the presence of at least one positive blood culture and growth of ≥ 1000 CFU/mL on quantitative culture and/or ³15 UFC on semiquantitative culture, with the same microorganism isolation (species and drug sensitivity) in blood culture and no other focus of infection except the catheter. The disk diffusion technique was used to check similarity of strains and resistance to oxacillin. Of the 353 tips analyzed, 39 were included in this study as the inclusion criteria. The semiquantitative culture was positive in 26 (66.7%) catheters and quantitative culture was positive in 24 (61.5%). Of 273 patients, 19 (6.9%) had a diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream Infection (CR-BSI). Of the 19 episodes of CR-BSI, S. epidermidis was the predominant etiological agent (84.2%). The resistance to the antibiotic methicillin was found in 14 (73.7%) strains of Staphylococcus. The semiquantitative method was more sensitive (79%) compared with the quantitative method (63%). The use of antibiotics may have influenced the sensitivity of the quantitative method as the microorganisms present in the lumen are exposed to higher concentrations of antibiotics administered via the catheter

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
