• P. aeruginosa isolates showed high rates of major errors, whereas for A. baumannii isolates, high rates of very major errors were obtained. • The Vitek-2 automated method does not show reliable results when evaluating Enterobacter spp. • For isolates with borderline MICs (between 1 and 8), the results obtained by Vitek-2 should be confirmed for all bacterial species. • For K. pneumoniae and E. coli , a good correlation was obtained between the results of Vitek-2 and broth microdilution when evaluated with ...

The mechanisms involved in the uncommon resistance phenotype, carbapenem resistance and broad-spectrum cephalosporin susceptibility, were investigated in 25 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates that exhibited this phenotype, which were recovered from three different hospitals located in São Paulo, Brazil. The antimicrobial susceptibility profile was determined by CLSI broth microdilution. β-lactamase-encoding genes were investigated by PCR followed by DNA sequencing. Carbapenem hydrolysis activity ...

The objective of this study was to describe a pseudo-outbreak of C. difficile in a hospital, following a change in the method used to detect the toxin. In February 2002, there were two cases of CDAD and in March 7 occurred, coinciding with a change of the test (from detection of toxin A to toxin A/B). An outbreak was suspected. Active surveillance and education of staff were started. A CDAD case was defined as a patient with acute onset of diarrhea (> or = three episodes of liquid stools) and a positive ...

This enzyme, which has 88% identity with OXA-40, is the first representative of a novel subgroup of CHDLs whose prevalence remains to be determined (5). In an attempt to carry out this task, we have conducted a surveillance study of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates ...

Mycobacterium haemophilum is a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium that can cause disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. The most common clinical presentations of infection are the appearance of suppurative and ulcerated skin nodules. For the diagnosis, samples collected from suspected cases must be processed under the appropriate conditions, because M. haemophilum requires lower incubation temperatures and iron supplementation in order to grow in culture. In this ...

Abstract Background Corynebacterium diphtheriae ( C. diphtheriae ) infections, usually related to upper airways involvement, could be highly invasive. Especially in developing countries, non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae strains are now emerging as cause of invasive disease like endocarditis. The present case stands out for reinforcing the high virulence of this pathogen, demonstrated by the multiple systemic embolism and severe valve deterioration. It also emphasizes the importance of a coordinated interdisciplinary ...

We evaluated a new phenotypic test for carbapenemase detection. A total of 100 Enterobacteriaceae isolates were selected. The test was compared with conventional PCR for bla(KPC) and bla(NDM) detection. We found 100% sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that this test may be a feasible alternative for rapid carbapenemase detection.

We described a MRSA bloodstream infection outbreak that was rapidly identified and controlled in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after implementation of a bundle of measures, including PCR-screening and HCW decolonization. We found 35% of healthcare workers(HCW) colonized with S. aureus by PCR, one of them that presented skin lesion positive for MSSA (same clone and spa type than two patients). Our findings raise the hypothesis that the outbreak could be related to HCW colonization.

To accelerate pathogen identification, molecular diagnostic methods, mainly based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been introduced to ensure early and targeted antibiotic treatment of patients suffering from bloodstream infection. Still, these approaches suffer from a lack of sensitivity and from inhibition of PCR in a number of clinical samples, leading to false negative results. ...
