The first acquired mechanism of resistance to polymyxins, encoded by the mcr-1 gene, was recently described in China and, subsequently, several studies have reported the presence of mcr-like genes in different sources worldwide. The environment has been described as a reservoir of multiresistant bacteria (MDR), including Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), which ar…
Bacterial resistance is a frequent problem in the hospital environment. Increased resistance among members of the Enterobacteriaceae family has resulted in the emergence of multiresistant species, which represent a major public health problem. Among the enterobacteria most commonly reported in hospital infections are Escherichia coli, which belongs to the commensal microbiota and may act …
Fluoroquinolones are antimicrobials often prescribed in Brazil and in other countries and used to treat several types of infections, especially those of urinary and gastrointestinal tract. The action of these compounds is due to inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing replication of bacterial DNA. Mutations in the QRDR region (Quinolone Resistance-Determining Regions) of…
Bacteria belonging to the genus Pseudomonas have a great metabolic versatility, a wide capacity to adapt, can inhabit in various environments and acquire resistance to a considerable variety of antimicrobials. One of the mechanisms of acquired resistance to the carbapenems meropenem and imipenem, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is by the production of the enzime metallo-²-lactamase (MBL) and t…

Bacterial resistance is a frequent problem in the hospital environment. Increased resistance among members of the Enterobacteriaceae family has resulted in the emergence of multidrug-resistant species, which represent an important public health problem.

The soil has a large microbial diversity, and the main found species belong to the genus Bacillus, Clostridium, Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Azotobacter e Nitrobacter. Among these bacterial species, there is Pseudomonas, an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections of great clinical relevance, and other species belong to genus Burkholderia, Acinetobacter and Stenotrophomo…
Atrazine, an herbicide widely used to control weeds, is a potential contaminant of soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes and oceans, and has as main degradation pathway a biological pathway. The strain Pseudomonas sp. ADP is a bacterium of the reference atrazine mineralization process in contaminated environments because it has a plasmid called PADP -1, which contains the atza, atzB, atzC, atz…

Brazil has a large amount of water sources and in São Paulo State, 461 points are analyzed, which have variable quality indexes, indicating a greater or lesser degree of contamination, mainly due to the deposition of domestic sewage. The release of untreated domestic effluent into the rivers causes an imbalance of the ecosystem, with consequent increase of some microorganisms and eliminat…
Soil is considered an important economic resource and its preservation is fundamental for the maintenance of life. It has a wide diversity of microorganisms which play crucial functions in maintenance of the ecosystem. Although soil is able to absorb a large amount of contaminants without undergoing major transformations, over time these transformations are almost irreversible and damage …
