Realizou-se a análise microbiológica de sêmen de 10 catitus machos criados em cativeiro no período de outubro de 2007 a janeiro de 2009, num total de 84 analises, com o objetivo de identificar a presença e freqüência de bactérias no mesmo, além de testar a sensibilidade de diferentes antimicrobianos frente aos microrganismos isolados. Nesse período, isolou-se um total de 225 colônias sendo 80 (35,6%) de Streptococcus sp., 72 (32%) Staphylococcus sp., 64 (28,4%) Micrococcus sp., 5 (2,2%) Corynebacterium sp. e 4 (1,8%) Enterococcus sp..Nos testes de sensibilidade utilizando onze antibióticos destacaram-se a Gentamicina (92,8%), Amicacina (85,3) entre aqueles mais eficazes frente aos microrganismos isolados. Concluiu-se que apesar da freqüência e dos gêneros dos microrganismos isolados no sêmen a taxa reprodutiva dos animais não foi afetada uma vez que essas bactérias podem ser provenientes da flora normal ou do meio em que os animais vivem, recomendando-se os antimicrobianos mais eficazes contra os microrganismos isolados para serem adicionados no diluidor caso haja necessidade de resfriamento do sêmen desses animais.

A descoberta e síntese de antimicrobianos compõem um elemento de suma importância para a saúde, entretanto algumas dessas substâncias tornaram-se obsoletas devido ao surgimento de micro-organismos resistentes à terapêutica convencional. Dentro das formas de tratamento, os produtos naturais são uma fonte inesgotável de substâncias, entre elas a própolis, a qual é conhecida mundialmente devido a sua atividade antimicrobiana. O objetivo deste trabalho foi a análise microbiológica de seis amostras de própolis, coletadas de regiões de Prudentópolis- PR, em tempos distintos de depósito em colmeia, uma com até 40 dias de depósito (Própolis Nova) e outra com mais de 180 dias (Própolis Velha). A atividade antimicrobiana foi verificada frente a Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus e Enterococcus faecalis, através do ensaio de microdiluição em placa com teste colorimétrico usando resazurina. Ao fim dos testes obteve-se os valores variando entre 0,38 a 0,68 mg/ml para a CIM da própolis nova e 0,34 a 1,3 mg/ml para a velha, para os micro-organismos S. aureus e M. luteus tendo valores próximos para ambos assim como a CBM destes, entre 0,38 - 1,62 e 0,67 – 2,6 mg/ml, respectivamente. Da mesma forma, para o E. faecalis foram alcançados os valores de CIM entre 0,76 e 2,73 mg/ml para a própolis nova e 1,34 e 2,72 mg/ml para a própolis velha, bem como valores de CBM de 1,5 a 3,07 e 2,68 a 3,11 mg/ml, respectivamente, nas amostras 1V, 2N, 5V e 5N não se verificou CBM para as concentrações estudadas. Os micro-organismos gram-negativos não foram sensíveis ao própolis. Conclui-se que a própolis nova apresentou melhor ação antimicrobiana, principalmente contra S. aureus e M. luteus. No entanto, os dados também mostram que os valores de CIM e CBM foram bem próximos entre as diferentes própolis, fato que não evidencia razões para que a própolis velha seja descartada.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Citrus limonum and Citrus aurantium essential oils (EOs) compared to 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on multi-species biofilms formed by Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli. The biofilms were grown in acrylic disks immersed in broth, inoculated with microbial suspension (106 cells/mL) and incubated at 37°C / 48 h. After the biofilms were formed, they were exposed for 5 minutes to the solutions (n = 10): C. aurantium EO, C. limonum EO, 0.2% CHX, 1% NaOCl or sterile saline solution [0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl)]. Next, the discs were placed in sterile 0.9% NaCl and sonicated to disperse the biofilms. Tenfold serial dilutions were performed and the aliquots were seeded onto selective agar and incubated at 37°C / 48 h. Next, the number of colony-forming units per milliliter was counted and analyzed statistically (Tukey test, p ≤ 0.05). C. aurantium EO and NaOCl inhibited the growth of all microorganisms in multi-species biofilms. C. limonum EO promoted a 100% reduction of C. albicans and E. coli, and 49.3% of E. faecalis. CHX was less effective against C. albicans and E. coli, yielding a reduction of 68.8% and 86.7%, respectively. However, the reduction of E. faecalis using CHX (81.7%) was greater than that obtained using C. limonum EO. Both Citrus limonum and Citrus aurantium EOs are effective in controlling multi-species biofilms; the microbial reductions achieved by EOs were not only similar to those of NaOCl, but even higher than those achieved by CHX, in some cases.

Objective: To characterize the microbial etiology of chronic suppurative otitis media comparing the methods of classical bacteriological culture and polymerase chain reaction.Design/Setting/Patients: Bacteriological analysis by classical culture and by molecular polymerase chain reaction of 35 effusion otitis samples from patients with cleft lip and palate attending the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of Sao Paulo, Bauru, Brazil.Interventions: Collection of clinical samples of otitis by effusion through the external auditory tube.Main Outcome Measure: Otolaryngologic diagnosis of chronic suppurative otitis media.Results: Positive cultures were obtained from 83% of patients. Among the 31 bacterial lineages the following were isolated. In order of decreasing frequency: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (54.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (25.9%), and Enterococcus faecalis (19.2%). No anaerobes were isolated by culture. The polymerase chain reaction was positive for one or more bacteria investigated in 97.1% of samples. Anaerobe lineages were detected by the polymerase chain reaction method, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides fragilis, and Peptostreptococcus anaerobius.Conclusions: Patients with cleft lip and palate with chronic suppurative otitis media presented high frequency of bacterial infection in the middle ear. The classical bacteriological culture did not detect strict anaerobes, whose presence was identified by the polymerase chain reaction method.

A possible explanation for endometritis in mares is ascendant contamination from the vagina. The presence of Lactobacillus spp. is considered to be important in women for a healthy vaginal environment; however, there are few studies in mares related to the presence of Lactobacillus in the vaginal flora of healthy mares. The present work aims to determine the occurrence of Lactobacillus spp. in the vaginal micro-environment of mares. A total of 35 crossbred multiparous mares, aged between 4 and 12 years, with no history of reproductive problems and with healthy reproductive tracts, were used. Two vaginal swabs were obtained from the mares during estrus for Lactobacillus isolation and PCR evaluation. Ten human female volunteers, aged between 24 and 35 years, sexually active, with no history of gynecological diseases and treatments in the past two years were used. Lactobacillus spp. were isolated from 5.7% of the mares' vaginal samples and from 90% of the women's vaginal samples. Lactobacillus DNA was detected by PCR in 22.9% of the mares' vaginal samples and in all of the vaginal samples from the healthy women. The primers used here were demonstrated to have in silico specificity for the detection of L. equi (AB425924.1), L. pantheris (DQ471798.1) and L. mucosae (DQ471799.1), but they did not anneal on Enterococcus faecalis (EU887827.1) or E. faecium (EU887814.1). In conclusion, this study showed a low occurrence of Lactobacillus spp. in mares, suggesting that this bacterium may not play a fundamental role in the equilibrium of the vaginal micro- environment of normal mares.
