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

Parasitos do gênero Cryptosporidium pertencem ao filo Apicomplexa, com localização intracelular e extracitoplasmática obrigatória e se desenvolvem principalmente na superfície das células epiteliais de hospedeiros vertebrados. O cão, possível fonte de infecção humana, elimina oocistos fecais deste protozoário com grande potencial zoonótico no ambiente. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar molecularmente Cryptosporidium spp. obtidos de amostras fecais de filhotes caninos (naturalmente infectados). Um total de 200 cães foram examinados, sendo 100 machos e 100 fêmeas, 111 de padrão racial determinado e 89 sem raça definida (SRD). Destes, 81 animais, 43, 48 e 28 tinham até dois, de dois a três; de três a seis e de seis a doze meses, respectivamente. Conforme sua origem, os animais eram provenientes dos Municípios de Araçatuba e Votuporanga, SP, sendo que 126 eram de domicílios; 11 mantidos em Centros de Zoonoses; 50 de Pet Shops; 12 de um criatório e uma (0,5%) era errante e havia sido adotada. A ocorrência de Cryptosporidium spp. foi de 1% (2/200). Ambas eram fêmeas, SRD, com idade entre 60 e 90 dias. A de origem residencial apresentava fezes pastosas com coloração castanho claro e a outra, resgatada do CCZ, material fecal escurecido de consistência liquefeita. O sequenciamento dos fragmentos amplificados confirmou a presença de Cryptosporidium canis. A partir dos resultados obtidos neste trabalho, é possível concluir que 2% dos caninos analisados eram hospedeiros de C. canis

Epidemiological researches are important to understand the distribution and etiology of oral diseases. The actual researches that show the relationship between patient ages, denture status and denture stomatitis are scarce. So, the aim of this study was to identify of Candida spp. in patients with Denture Stomatitis (DS) and to correlate with gender, age, time of denture use and Newton’s classification. 204 complete denture patients (46 males and 158 females) were selected. DS was classified according to Newton’s classification and it was related to gender, age and time of denture use. Samples from the palatal mucosa and the surface of the upper denture of patients with DS were evaluated using PCR test for identification of Candida species. T-test, chisquare and Fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis. DS was evidenced in 54.4% of the sample. According to gender 41.3% of the males and 58.3% females had the disease and the differences were statistically significant (p = 0.032). The type of DS was directly influenced by the time of denture use (p<0.001), but it was not significantly related to the age of the participants (p>0.05). C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. krusei and C. dubliniensis were identified by PCR test. DS is more prevalent in women and the prevalence of DS was influenced by the time of denture use (years). C. albicans was identified as the most frequent specie in patients with DS.
