Assistant Professor of Infectious Diseases and Parasitic, Department of medicine, Escola Paulista de Medicina, UNIFESP and lead researcher of Grupo de Análise em Infecções e Antimicrobianos (GAIA), within Special Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology (LEMC/ALERTA), focused in the area of epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance, mathematical and space-time models. Has extensive experience in clinical and translational research with emphasis on infectious diseases and antimicrobials. Participates in research on the following subjects: epidemiology of bacterial resistance, antimicrobials, surveillance systems, pharmacodynamics, resistance mechanisms, methods and models for analysis of resistance. Medical doctor graduated by Universidade Federal Fluminense (1991), with medical residency at Instituto de Infectologia Emílio Ribas, PhD in infectious and parasitic diseases from the University of São Paulo (2002) and postdoc in infectious and parasitic diseases by Universidade Federal de São Paulo (2011).

The comprehension of the evolution of neonatal mortality by analyzing its main causes, its temporal and geographical distribution and the demographic variables associated to these deaths could help to design strategies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, established by the United Nations in 2015.Objective: To analyze non-aleatory patterns of secular trends, spatial evolution, an…
We have reported an index case of HAI caused by KpKPC in 2009 with its subsequent dissemination among hospitalized patients in intensive care units of postoperative cardiac surgery in a Brazilian hospital of high complexity [Abboud et al., 2011]. As part of this study (FAPESP 2014/12108 recently finalized and reported), 170 isolates of KpKPC involved in this outbreak over five years were …
The emergence of resistant organisms in the hospital environment in recent decades has been a worldwide topic of great interest and concern reality, considering the use of antibiotics indiscriminately and lack of new antimicrobials on the market that can meet the growing demand of bacterial resistance. The emergence of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing the carbapenemase enzyme (KPC) and lat…
In the context of resistance, the present project will allow us to understand the correlation among empiric treatment commonly used for respiratory infections and susceptibility profile of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the same environment, through a pharmacodynamic simulation model which uses bacterial eradication targets to each treatment prescribed. Then, it will be possible to infere ab…
This project aims to continue the spatio-temporal analysis of sepsis cases in the state of São Paulo between 2013 and 2022, as part of a postdoctoral research project entitled "**Estimation of the burden related to the occurrence and spread of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials in bloodstream infection cases from the perspective of the unified health system**", by postdoctoral researc…
Introduction: Understanding the evolution of neonatal mortality through the analysis of its temporal and geographical distribution can contribute to the design of interventions that facilitate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals established in 2015 by the UN. Objective: To analyze the spatial evolution of neonatal mortality due to prematurity, respiratory disorders, perin…
