The objective of this study is to evaluate the potencial microbial activity in-vitro from the extract of some endemic plants from Cerrado such as Baccharis dracunculifolia, Cochlospermum regium, Croton antisyphiliticus, Eugenia dysenterica and Lippia sidoides, against the agent Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine mastitic milk, osteo from cow’s teat, milker equipament, nasal cavitites and milker’s gullet. The extracts were prepared from aerial parts as well as the reticular systems of plants using the solvents methanol, hexane and chloroform at a concentration of 10%. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity, the technique of microdilution in broth was used for determining the Minimal Inibitory Concentration (MIC) followed by the determination of Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). The extracts from Baccharis dracunculifolia and Croton antisyphiliticus, followed by extracts from Lippia sidoides, reported respectively, presented better inhibitory activity against the multiplication of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that the isolated strains from the milk and nasal cavities of the milker showed strong resistance against gentamicin, active agent commonly applied to combat mastitis bovine. However, there was sensitivity against extracts from the reported plants, reinforcing the importance of the medicinal plants as a therapeutic resource and its aplicability.

Surface treatments have been used to modify the surface of titanium alloys. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surface of Ti-30Ta alloy after biomimetic approach associated to antibiotic incorporation. The ingots were obtained in arc melting furnace, treated and cold-worked by swaging. The surface treatment was performed in two steps: biomimetic treatment and antibiotic incorporation. For biomimetic treatment, first an alkaline treatment (NaOH 1M at 60ºC) was performed, followed by heat treatment and immersion in SBFx5 (Simulated Body Fluid) for a period of 24 hours. In order to incorporate the antibiotic, samples were immersed in a solution formed by drugs plus SBFx5 for 48 hours. The sample surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. The release of antibiotic from coated implants was measured in phosphate buffer saline at pH 7.4 by using UV/VIS spectrometry. Results have shown changes on the surface after incorporating the drug, which is gradually co-precipitated with the Ca-P crystals, forming a uniform and rough layer on the metal surface

O jacaré-de-papo (Caiman latirostris) é considerado um crocodiliano de médio porte que apresenta uma ampla distribuição latitudinal na América do Sul. Possivelmente a espécie possui a situação mais complexa entre os crocodilianos brasileiros quanto ao aspecto da conservação, basicamente porque suas populações encontram-se fragmentadas em grande parte de sua área de distribuição original e por utilizarem áreas com fortes atividades antrópicas. Embora a espécie possua aparentemente um processo adaptativo frente a estas pressões, um aspecto fisiológico pode ainda sofrer rápida alteração quando submetido a elas: o estado sanitário. Desta maneira, este estudo objetivou determinar o estado sanitário do maior predador aquático, utilizando duas áreas distintas no Estado de São Paulo, através da determinação dos perfis hematológicos e bioquímicos do sangue, além da caracterização da microbiota oral, servindo de modelo à conservação da espécie em ambientes alterados. No primeiro capítulo foram determinados o perfil hematológico e bioquímico do sangue utilizando-se 29 indivíduos (19 machos e 10 fêmeas) capturados em Angatuba e 11 indivíduos (2 machos, 4 fêmeas e 5 filhotes) capturados em Cubatão. Diferenças estatísticas significativas foram encontradas nos valores de creatinina na comparação entre fêmeas de ambas as áreas de estudo (p = 0,033) e nos valores de alanina aminotransferase (p = 0,003), hemácias (p = 0,034), hemoglobina (p = 0,049) e volume corpuscular médio (p = 0,027) quando da comparação entre sexos. No segundo capítulo determinou-se a microbiota oral destes animais através do isolamento, identificação e caracterização bacteriana, em conjunto com o teste de perfil de susceptibilidade aos antimicrobianos. Foram determinados 14 diferentes tipos de bactérias na área de Angatuba, sendo uma classificada como baciliforme aeróbio Gram-positivo, uma como bacilo Gram-negativo e 12 classificadas como Enterobactérias Gram-negativas. Na área de Cubatão foram isolados cinco tipos de bactérias, sendo quatro classificadas como Enterobactérias Gram-negativas e uma como baciliforme aeróbio Gram-positivo. Considerando que o uso de antimicrobianos é um processo primário no tratamento de animais e pessoas, principalmente nos casos que envolvam infecções provocadas pela interação homem x animais, para ambas as áreas de estudo, as quinolonas Enrofloxacina e Norfloxacina, além do aminoglicosídeo Gentamicina, foram os antimicrobianos que apresentaram os menores índices de resistência frente aos isolados testados.

Advances in neonatology resulted in reducing the mortality rate and the consequent increase in survival of newborn pre terms (PTN). On the other hand, there was also a considerable increase in the risk of developing health care-related infection (HAI) in its most invasive, especially for bloodstream. This situation is worrying, and prevent the occurrence of it is a challenge and becomes one of the priorities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Sepsis is the main cause of death in critical neonates and affects more than one million newborns each year, representing 40% of all deaths in neonates. The incidence of late sepsis can reach 50% in NICUs. Currently the major responsible for the occurrence of sepsis in developed countries is the coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS), followed by S. aureus. The cases of HAIs caused by resistant isolates for major classes of antimicrobial agents have been increasingly frequent in the NICU. Therefore, vancomycin has to be prescribed more frequently, and, today, the first option in the treatment of bloodstream infections by resistant Staphylococcus. The objectives of this study were to assess the impact on late sepsis in epidemiology III NICU after the change of the use of antimicrobials protocol; check the frequency of multiresistant microorganisms; assess the number of neonates who came to death. This study was conducted in NICU Level III HC-UFU. three study groups were formed based on the use of the proposed late sepsis treatment protocol, with 216 belonging to the period A, 207 B and 209 to the C. The work was divided into three stages: Period A: data collected from neonates admitted to the unit between September 2010 to August 2011. was using treatment of late sepsis: with oxacillin and gentamicin, oxacillin and amikacin, oxacillin and cefotaxime. Period B: data were collected from March 2012 to February 2013. Data collection was started six months after protocol change. Due to the higher prevalence of CoNS, the initial protocol was changed to vancomycin and cefotaxime. Period C: data were collected from newborns inteerne in the unit from September 2013 to August 2014. Data collection was started six months after the protocol change, which occurred in March 2013. From the 632 neonates included in this study, 511 (80,8%) came from the gynecology and obstetrics department of the HC-UFU. The mean gestational age was 33 weeks and the prevailing sex was male (55,7%). Seventy-nine percent of the studied neonates were hospitalized at the NICU HC-UFU III because of complications related to the respiratory system. Suspicion of sepsis took to hospitalization in the unit of 1,9% of newborns. In general, the infection rate was 34,5%, and the most frequent infectious sepsis syndrome 81,2%. There was a tendency to reduce the number of neonates who died between periods A 11 and C (p = 0,053). From the 176 cases of late sepsis, 73 were clinical sepsis and 103 had laboratory confirmation, with greater representation of Gram positive bacteria, which corresponded to 67.2% of the isolates and CoNS the most frequent micro-organism (91,5%). There was a statistically significant difference in the reduction of isolation of Gram positive microorganisms between periods A and C (p = 0,0365) as well as in reducing multidrug-resistant CoNS (A and B period p = 0,0462 and A and C period, p = 0,158). This study concluded that: the CoNS was the main microorganism responsible for the occurrence of late sepsis in neonates in the NICU of HC-UFU; the main risk factors for the occurrence of late sepsis were: birth weight <1500 g, use of PICC and CUV, need for mechanical ventilation and parenteral nutrition, SNAPPE> 24 and length of stay more than seven days; the new empirical treatment protocol late sepsis, based on the use of vancomycin associated cefepime, it was effective, since promoted a reduction in insulation CoNS blood cultures between the pre and post implementation of the Protocol (A and C, respectively); just as there was a reduction in the number of newborns who evolved to death between periods A and C.

The dissertation was divided in two studies. With the first, aimed to evaluate the occurrence of microorganisms present in the vulvovaginal region of cows that received intravaginal progesterone devices during the fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) programs, and correlate the results with pregnancy rates. Samples were collected from vulvovaginal region of 30 beef cows Guzerá and 30 crossbred dairy cows, and also intravaginal devices, randomly. Of the 120 samples of cows, 60 corresponded to the collections of the period prior to the introduction device (D0) and 60 to the subsequent withdrawal of it (D9); it yielded 100% of bacterial growth, whereas, in most samples, it was found more than one isolated. In D0, the most frequent agent was Escherichia coli (52%), and in D9, Proteus spp and E. coli were the most frequent (32% and 28%, respectively). Regarding intravaginal progesterone devices, in D0 were isolated 37 microorganisms, being predominant those of the genus Bacillus (35%); in D9, 41 colony forming units (CFU) were isolated, of which 36.6% corresponded to Proteus spp. For the analysis of the antimicrobial profile, susceptibility testing was performed by diffusion agar disk, and cows that did not became pregnant after FTAI program were selected, as a future treatment. There resistance 100% to penicillin, and sensitivity, approximately, 90% to gentamicin, both isolates obtained from samples of beef cows and obtained of dairy cows. Regarding pregnancy rate, the 30 beef cows, 11 were diagnosed pregnant (36.7%), 4 (36.4%) treated with reused devices and 7 (63.6%) with new devices, which showed more effective. Of the 30 dairy cows, 15 were pregnant (50%), 8 (53.3%) were implanted with reused devices and 7 (46.7%) with new devices, with no significant differences in pregnancy rates. Because it is a research, females were chosen at random, and factors such as body condition, nutritional management and health weren't priority. With the second study, aimed to analyze the similarity between strains, conducted by technical Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD -PCR). Presence of E. coli and the absence of pregnancy were selection criteria used. From the results, it was observed that most of the isolates wasn't phylogenetically similar, since they showed lower than 85% similarity. The study stressed the importance of E. coli in vulvovaginal microbiota of cows and the presence of phenotypic and genotypic characters of this bacterium on possible reproductive problems.

Introdução: A pseudotrombocitopenia dependente de EDTA (EDTA-PTCP) consiste numa falsa diminuição na contagem de plaquetas (PLT), em amostras de sangue colhidas em EDTA, devido a aglutinação plaquetar. Estudos publicados referem que a aglutinação plaquetar na presença de EDTA se pode evitar e dissociar com a adição de um aminoglicosídeo. Objectivos: 1) avaliar a eficácia do aminoglicosídeo gentamicina (Gent) na dissociação de aglutinados plaquetares em amostras de sangue total colhidas em EDTA; 2) verificar se existe alterações nos outros parâmetros hematológicos e na morfologia do sangue periférico, após adição de Gent; 3) detetar o envolvimento das frações GPllb ou GPllIa do complexo GPllb/llIa no mecanismo de formação dos aglutinados plaquetares induzidos pelo EDTA. Material e Métodos: 145 amostras de sangue periférico em EDTA-K3 e com trombocitopenia, processadas no CELL-DYN Sapphire TM. De acordo com padrão gráfico característico em Mono-Poly I, amostras reprocessadas após adição de 20 μL de Gent, com a mesma metodologia. Esfregaços de sangue periférico (ESP) corados por May-Grünwald-Giemsa. 13 amostras processadas com contagem imunológica de PLT (CD61), antes e após Gent. Comparação dos valores dos diferentes parâmetros antes e após adição de Gent: Teste T- student emparelhado, significado estatístico: p<0,05. Resultados: 138 amostras com diferença estatisticamente significativa na contagem de PLT antes e após Gent, com desaparecimento do padrão inicial em Mono-Poly I: 97 EDTA-PTCP (p<0,0001) e 41 trombocitopenias reais (p<0,0001). Sete amostras sem aumento na contagem de PLT (P=0,15) com Gent, nem alteração em Mono-Poly I, sugerindo presença de microcoágulos, confirmados em ESP. Principais parâmetros hematológicos sem diferenças significativas (p>0,05), após adição de Gent, com exceção do VPM (P<0,0001) e Ptc (p<0,0001). Morfologia do sangue periférico sem alterações. As treze amostras processadas com CD61 antes de Gent tinham um número de PLT superior ao obtido na contagem ótica antes de Gent. Conclusões: A adição de Gent às amostras em EDTA induz uma rápida dissociação dos aglutinados, sem causar alterações morfológicas nem dos principais parâmetros hematológicos. Apenas a GPllb parece estar envolvida no mecanismo de formação dos aglutinados plaquetares. O uso de Gent revelou-se muito útil, rápido e com baixo custo nas EDTA-PTCP, permitindo rentabilizar a tecnologia existente, com grande benefício para o doente.

La sensibilidad antimicrobiana es la capacidad que tienen los antibióticos de disminuir el potencial infeccioso de los microorganismos causantes de infección. El método para determinar la sensibilidad antimicrobiana, permite al médico escoger el antibiótico más adecuado con base científica proporcionado por el laboratorio clínico. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar sensibilidad antimicrobiana de Escherichia coli la causante de infecciones urinarias en mujeres embarazadas entre las edades de 15 a 40 años que asisten al control prenatal en el Hospital Nacional Dr. Jorge Arturo Mena, Santiago de María, departamento de Usulután en el periodo de junio a agosto de 2014. La metodología fue de tipo: prospectiva, transversal, descriptiva. Donde a las muestras de orina de mujeres embarazadas se les realizó un urocultivo en el cual se aisló la bacteria Escherichia coli y a la vez se evaluó la sensibilidad antimicrobiana de la bacteria a nitrofurantoína, gentamicina, amikacina, ampicilina y amoxicilina utilizando el método estandarizado de difusión en agar, Kirby Bauer, estas se procesaron en el laboratorio del Hospital Nacional Dr. Jorge Arturo Mena de Santiago de María. Resultados obtenidos: las cepas de Escherichia coli presentaron una susceptibilidad a la nitrofurantoina del 100%, gentamicina 96.97%, amikacina 90.9%, ampicilina 81.81% y una resistencia a la amoxicilina del 100%. Conclusión: se comprobó estadísticamente que las cepas de Escherichia coli presentaron igual susceptibilidad antimicrobiana ante la nitrofurantoina, gentamicina y amikacina; pero menor susceptibilidad ante ampicilina y amoxicilina.

La neumonía nosocomial es una infección frecuente en pacientes hospitalizados, representa el 40% de las infecciones nosocomiales. El incremento en su incidencia por microorganismos multirresistentes causa un incremento en el tratamiento antibiótico empírico inapropiado asociándose a un incremento en el riesgo de mortalidad. Es importante conocer los microorganismos frecuentemente responsables de estas infecciones en cada hospital y los patrones de sensibilidad antimicrobiana para reducir la incidencia de tratamiento antibiótico inapropiado. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo, longitudinal de eventos retrospectivos; fuentes documentales (expedientes clínicos) con egreso por neumonía nosocomial de los servicios del Departamento de Medicina Interna del Hospital Nacional Rosales(HNR), de enero a diciembre del año 2013. Se excluyeron pacientes trasladados de otro centro hospitalario, los que iniciaron tratamiento antibiótico empírico en unidad de cuidados intensivos y pacientes con asociación a una segunda infección nosocomial. Resultados: se incluyeron 124 pacientes, edad media de 57.91 años (desviación estándar + 20.46) 62.1% hombres y 37.9% mujeres, relación masculino/femenino 1.63:1. El antibiótico empírico de inicio más frecuente fue la monoterapia con Ceftazidima. Se reportó microorganismos de cultivo bacteriológico de esputo o secreción bronquial con sensibilidad únicamente en 30 casos (24.2%) y la toma de cultivo antes del inicio de antibióticos solamente a 11 (8.9%). Los agentes más frecuentes fueron Pseudomonas aeruginosa (con sensibilidad a Ciprofloxacina, Imipenen, Gentamicina y Linzolid) y Acinetobacter baumanni (en su mayoría multiresistente). La mortalidad reportada fue del 64.52% Conclusión: en el HNR se encontró divergencia en cuanto al cumplimiento de los lineamientos internacionales en el antibiótico empírico de inicio, se encontró una baja proporción de reporte de cultivos.
