O presente trabalho é relativo aos resultados das uroculturas realizadas na instituição durante os anos de 2013 e 2014 e respetivos testes de suscetibilidade aos antibióticos (TSA). Todos os resultados se referem a animais de companhia assistidos no âmbito da consulta externa devido a sinais clínicos de afeção do trato genito-urinário. O médico veterinário no decurso da sua atividade profissional deve assegurar-se de que promove uma prática racional e responsável na utilização de antibioterapia, limitando a sua utilização aos casos em que realmente é necessária. Por outro lado, e face ao aumento de estirpes bacterianas multirresistentes, o sucesso terapêutico depende cada vez mais de uma escolha adequada do agente antimicrobiano, que não deverá ser empírica. Apesar de não ser claro se o fluxo de transmissão de resistências microbianas é feito no sentido do animal para o humano ou no sentido inverso, certo é que o fluxo é possível e existe (Ewers, 2012).

Introducción: Colombia no tiene estudios que muestren el efecto de la congestión en urgencias sobre la oportunidad de tratamiento. El propósito del estudio fue evaluar este efecto en un servicio de urgencias en Bogotá sobre la oportunidad de la primera dosis de antibiótico y/o de analgésico; además de determinar el porcentaje de pacientes que abandonaron urgencias sin valoración. Método: Se planteó un estudio de tiempo al evento, con metodología de análisis de sobrevida, para determinar si había retardo significativo en la administración de la primera dosis de tratamiento según nivel de ocupación de urgencias del 12 de octubre al 1 de noviembre de 2010. Se midió la proporción de pacientes que abandonan urgencias sin valoración. Resultados: 127 pacientes recibieron antibióticos y 982 analgésicos. Las demoras medianas en la primera dosis fueron 364 y 104 minutos, respectivamente. Analizando las curvas de sobrevida se demostró que no hubo diferencias en la oportunidad de la primera dosis de antibiótico (p=0,3908) ni analgésico (p=0,3924) entre tres niveles de congestión según NEDOCS simultáneamente. La cantidad de personas que se fueron del servicio sin valoración fue de 92 equivalente 2,35%. Discusión: Los tiempos medianos de oportunidad de tratamiento fueron mayores que estándares de calidad y reportes en estudios previos. No se encontró diferencias en el retraso en la administración de antibiótico ni analgésico pero esperamos que este trabajo sea útil para la toma de decisiones, buscando beneficiar a los pacientes que asisten a urgencias con inicio de tratamientos oportunos.

Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is a powerful tool for analyzing cellular metabolism. In order to control the growth conditions of a specific organism, it is important to have a complete understanding of its MFA. This would allowed us to improve the processes for obtaining products of interest to human and also to understand how to manipulate the genome of a cell, allowing optimization process for genetic engineering. Streptomyces olindensis ICB20 is a promising producer of the antibiotic cosmomycin, a powerful antitumor drug. Several Brazilian researchers groups have been developing studies in order to optimize cosmomycin production in bioreactors. However, to the best of our knowledge, nothing has been done on metabolic fluxes analysis field. Therefore, the aim of this work is to identify several factors that can affect the metabolism of Streptomyces olindensis ICB20, through the metabolic flux analysis. As a result, the production of the secondary metabolite, cosmomycin, can be increased. To achieve this goal, a metabolic model was developed which simulates a distribution of internal cellular fluxes based on the knowledge of metabolic pathways, its interconnections, as well as the constraints of microorganism under study. The validity of the proposed model was verified by comparing the computational data obtained by the model with the experimental data obtained from the literature. Based on the analysis of intracellular fluxes, obtained by the model, an optimal culture medium was proposed. In addition, some key points of the metabolism of Streptomyces olindensis were identified, aiming to direct its metabolism to a greater cosmomycin production. In this sense it was found that by increasing the concentration of yeast extract, the culture medium could be optimized. Furthermore, the inhibition of the biosynthesis of fatty acids was found to be a interesting strategy for genetic manipulation. Based on the metabolic model, one of the optimized medium conditions was experimentally tested in order to demonstrate in vitro what was obtained in silico. It was found that by increasing the concentration of yeast extract in the culture medium would induce to an increase of the cosmomycin production

Dois mil e quatrocentos pintos de corte foram distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com esquema fatorial 2 x 2 x 2 (sexo, com e sem probiótico, com e sem antibiótico), totalizando oito tratamentos e seis repetições com 50 aves cada uma. Independente da suplementação recebida, os machos sempre foram mais pesados que as fêmeas. Entretanto, a análise de desempenho apresentou maiores peso corporal e ganho de peso para os machos que receberam suplementação de antibiótico, quando comparados aos não-suplementados. Até 42 dias de idade, o uso do antibiótico determinou aumento do consumo de ração, mas não influiu nas demais características de desempenho. No período de 1 a 21 dias e 1 a 42 dias de idade, a suplementação com probiótico influenciou negativamente o peso corporal, ganho de peso e consumo de ração das aves. Houve interação probiótico x antibiótico para rendimento de carcaça das aves, obtendo-se maior rendimento de carcaça com o uso da associação dos produtos na ração. Nenhum dos produtos afetou o rendimento de partes (cabeça, pés, asas, perna, peito e dorso), o rendimento de vísceras (coração, fígado e vísceras não-comestíveis), gordura abdominal e características sensoriais (intensidade de aroma, aroma estranho, sabor, sabor estranho, maciez, suculência, preferência, cor característica e aparência geral) da carne de peito e pernas. No presente estudo, não foram encontrados efeitos benéficos da suplementação de probiótico para frangos de corte.

With the significant increase in the incidence of invasive fungal infections during the last decade, mainly in patients with cancer, AIDS and other hospitalized patients who stay for long periods in intensive care units, there is an urgent need to screen for new antifungal agents possessing some advantages over known ones. This article reports a search in the field for a microorganism producing antibacterial and antifungal substances. Strains from soil samples collected in the region of Araraquara, Brazil, were isolated and analyzed for their antimicrobial potential against standard microorganisms (fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus oryzae and bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). Out of the 64 strains isolated, 34 produced detectable antimicrobial activity. The streptomycete strain Ar4014 was chosen for further study, owing to its good antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. Two of the fermentation media tested, 608-K and 602-B, were found to be best for the production and extraction of the antibiotic from Ar4014. After chromatographic separation of the crude extract on a silica column, the active fractions obtained showed UV-VIS absorption peaks characteristic of normal pentaenic antibiotics. The antibiotic was provisionally designated Ara 4014-75.

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
