ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze risk factors for infection in kidney transplant recipients from deceased expanded criteria donors (DECD) the first two years of follow-up. Method: This is a prospective cohort study with 466 patients DECD who underwent transplantation 2015 and 2016 Brazil. A total 551 events were recorded. The largest incidence infectious occurred month after transplantation. Cytomeg...

 Multidrug resistance is still a major health problem worldwide. Biofilm formation was related to the of bacteria mechanism. Acinetobacter baumannii, one that cause nosocomial infections, given particular attention due its high prevalence resistance. The current study address observing antibacterial activity and antibiofilm Curcuma domestica rhizome extract against multidr...

Objective: Burn wound infection is a severe complication of thermal injury. Patients with severe burn injuries need urgent care to diminish complications after severe burns. Wound infections are commonly considered one of the most serious burn complications, particularly those that are caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria with few therapeutic choices. The objective of this study ...

Background Since 2013, weekly screening for multidrug-resistant gramnegative (MDRGN) bacteria is performed in German neonatal intensive care units (NICU). National guidelines recommend considering these colonization analyses antibiotic treatment regimens. Our retrospective single center study provides insight into the clinical dichotomy of bacterial and infection rates neonates.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has necessitated the search for novel bioactive compounds in unexplored and natural environments. Actinobacteria contain important substances. are Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, filamentous, fungus-like that remain among leading producers antibiotics. Consequently, this work, 50 actinobacteria were isolated from 5 soil samples collected […]

Background Currently accepted classifications of pneumonia include community acquired pneumonia (CAP), healthcareassociated pneumonia (HCAP), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Previous studies have shown a high rate of patients with HCAP or HAP caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Our aim was to determine the differences in etiology and antib...

Abstract Background Chlorhexidine is a widely used disinfectant in clinical settings and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent effective against aerobic anaerobic bacteria. However, resistant or non-susceptible bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, have been found. This study aimed to develop new technique prevent control A. baumannii infection the hospital setting. Met...

Colistin is highly promising against multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant bacteria clinically. Bacteria are resistant to colistin mainly through mcr chromosome-mediated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis-related locus variation. However, the current understanding cannot fully explain resistance mechanism in -negative colistin-resistant strains. Significantly, contribution of efflu...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of multidrug resistant microorganisms worldwide is increasing. The aim of the study was to present institutional experience with the multidrug resistant microorganism colonization patterns observed in children with congenital heart diseases hospitalized in a hybrid pediatric cardiac surgery center. MATERIAL AND METHODS Microbiological samples were routinely collecte...

Infections with Acinetobacter baumannii, one of the most troublesome and least studied multidrug-resistant superbugs, are increasing at alarming rates. A. baumannii encodes a type VI secretion system (T6SS), an antibacterial apparatus of Gram-negative bacteria used to kill competitors. Expression of the T6SS varies among different strains of A. baumannii, for which the regulatory mechanisms are...
