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

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

We evaluated the effects of a low intensity aerobic exercise protocol on cardiac remodeling and myocardial function in diabetic rats. Wistar rats were assigned into four groups: sedentary control (C-Sed), exercised control (C-Ex), sedentary diabetes (DM-Sed), and exercised diabetes (DM-Ex). Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Rats exercised for 9 weeks in treadmill at 11 m/min, 18 min/day. Myocardial function was evaluated in left ventricular (LV) papillary muscles and oxidative stress in LV tissue. Statistical analysis was given by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis. Echocardiogram showed diabetic groups with higher LV diastolic diameter-to-body weight ratio and lower posterior wall shortening velocity than controls. Left atrium diameter was lower in DM-Ex than DM-Sed (C-Sed: 5.73 ± 0.49; C-Ex: 5.67 ± 0.53; DM-Sed: 6.41 ± 0.54; DM-Ex: 5.81 ± 0.50 mm; P < 0.05 DM-Sed vs C-Sed and DM-Ex). Papillary muscle function was depressed in DM-Sed compared to C-Sed. Exercise attenuated this change in DM-Ex. Lipid hydroperoxide concentration was higher in DM-Sed than C-Sed and DM-Ex. Catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were lower in diabetics than controls and higher in DM-Ex than DM-Sed. Glutathione peroxidase activity was lower in DM-Sed than C-Sed and DM-Ex. Conclusion. Low intensity exercise attenuates left atrium dilation and myocardial oxidative stress and dysfunction in type 1 diabetic rats.
