Untreated gonococcal infection may lead chronic infection, and consequently to ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and infe…
Most of the bacteria involved in infections associated with health care inhabit the intestinal tract, with the Gram-negative bacilli among the most important. Knowledge about resistance and bacterial virulence is generally from studies with clinical isolates, with few studies that focus on the possible reservoirs of these bacteria. The present study aims to assess the prevalence of Gram-n…
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are characterized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Besides, infections are also responsible for the increase in antimicrobial resistance rates. The purpose of this study is to continue the Project SCOPE Brazil (extension of a study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University, USA, called SCOPE - Surveillance and Control of Pathogen…
