Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are among the most common types of infectious diseases, with approximately 150 million cases per year worldwide. It is estimated that annually there are about 8 million ITUs in the United States, many of which result in a visit to the doctor. The socioeconomic impact of these infections is usually high, including health care costs and time lost at work. In B…
The prevention and treatment of infections have improved the results of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in recent decades. However, infection still represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in HSCT. A proposal to reduce infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens is the handling of the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract. In HSCT the diversity and stab…
The traumas represent a public health problem worldwide, including in Brazil, generating a strong impact on morbidity and mortality of the population, particularly the economically active age group. The municipality of São José dos Campos is located 100 kilometers from the city of São Paulo. Has a population of about habitantes6 and 629,921 has the 8th GDP of the State of São Paulo in Bra…

Currently, most studies on colonization and infection by multidrug-resistant agents (MDR) in trauma patients focus on cohorts of patients admitted to hospitals specializing in the care of war veterans or cohorts of patients who are victims of burns in domestic or civil war. In these studies, colonization and infection rates by MDR agents, mainly carbapenem-resistant enter bacteria, were p…
Bacterial infections are a major cause of diseases in humans with high mortality rates. Rapid identification of infections is critical, as these infections can be highly contagious and difficult to treat, such as hospital infections. Hospital infections present high morbidity and mortality in addition to high inpatient costs. Antimicrobial resistance is an important factor that justifies …
Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) is currently used as topical antiseptic with bactericidal action against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. In the last decade, chlorhexidine has been used in hospitals for antisepsis hand hygiene and other interventions to prevent infection related to health care (HAI). The expressive use of chlorhexidine led to the increase of gram-negative b…
