Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the main causa-tive agents of medical device-related infections due to their biofilm-forming capability, which protects them from the host's immune system and from the action of antimicrobials. This study evaluated the ability of RNA III inhibiting peptide (RIP) to inhibit biofilm formation in 10 strains isolate…
Background: Individuals with diabetes mellitus, especially insulin-dependent patients, are at-risk groups for staphylococcal infections. Asymptomatic infection with Staphylococcus aureus is common, favoring its dissemination and rendering these individuals a source of infection. In this study, we characterized the resistance profile, clonal profile and sequence type, as well as, to analyz…
Characteristics of inhabitants, living conditions, communities with agglomerations of people, underlying diseases (such as diabetes), injecting drug use, and frequency of antibiotic use contribute to the selection of resistant bacteria. We continue to fail to contain the spread of resistance genes, which already pose a threat to the health of populations. Currently, multidrug-resistant mi…

We continue to fail to contain the spread of resistance genes, which already pose a threat to the health of populations. Currently, multidrug-resistant microorganisms are already responsible for infectious conditions acquired in the community. An important example are MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which represent a serious risk to public health worldwide, due to the …
Illicit drugs users (IDU) are acknowledged to be a special risk group for Staphylococcus. In this population it has been described the first community associated Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). However, most part of the studies relating S. aureus and MRSA to drug addiction approach intravenous substances users. In Brazil, most of dependents are inhalational drugs users, especially Crack.…
Reports have shown that children who attend day care system have high risk of acquiring infections due to the close contact with each other increasing the transmission of pathogens. About 1% of those children are colonized by MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) which frequently carry the PVL gene. CA-MRSA colonization and infections are associated with invasive forms of dis…

Due the dissemination of infections caused by MRSA, the need to create an effective vaccine against this pathogen. U.S. only clone USA300 causes 80% of CA-MRSA infections. In preliminary studies in the laboratory of the investigator Binh An Diep found that lipoproteins corresponding to 70% of the peptides found in the cell wall of USA300. Little is known about the role of the six most abu…
Milk is an important food for man, and its quality must be appropriate, without transmit biological hazards. For this, the herd health must be ensured, and studies about the quality of the produced milk are relevant. Staphylococcus genus is the most frequently found in milk. The S. aureus pathogenicity is already known and the staphylococcus coagulase-negative pathogenicity has been studi…
