Sapajus libidinosus is a species of primates, popularly known as capuchin monkey. The oral cavity of the monkeys may have pathogenic microbiota for human. Therefore, the study of the microbiota of these species is of great interest in unique health. The objective of the present article was to carry out a survey of the oral microbiota of Sapajus libidinosus, kept in captivity, in the Zoobotanical Park of Teresina (PI, Brazil). Ten chemically immobilized primates were used. Samples were collected from the oral mucosa along the maxillary muco-gingival transition, and these samples were sent to culture and microbiological identification. Most of the microorganisms found were Gram negative and E.coli was the most frequent, followed by Enterobacter spp, Klebsiella spp, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter spp.,Morganella morganii, as well as Gram positive bacteria of the type Staphylococcus spp. The data obtained demonstrated the presence of bacterial strains with potential risk of transmission to other animals kept in the park as well as humans in contact with these animals.
Com o aumento frequente de bactérias multirresistentes no ambiente hospitalar, principalmente nas UTIs, e tendo as pneumonias nosocomiais como as principais causadoras dessas infecções, o estudo teve como objetivo, avaliar as bactérias mais prevalentes nas culturas de secreção traqueal da rede de hospitais de Teresina-PI, assim como, avaliar seus perfis de sensibilidade aos antibióticos. O estudo foi realizado por meio da coleta de dados oriundos do sistema GAL utilizado pelo Laboratório Central do Piauí (LACEN-PI) no período entre 1° de Janeiro de 2020 a 31 de dezembro de 2022. No estudo os principais achados foram Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus e Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Para a sensibilidade, foram encontrados altas porcentagens de resistência, principalmente à ceftriaxona. Sendo assim, foi possível concluir que o aumento nos casos de internação e intubação, contribuíram para os aumentos de positividade de cultura que ocorreram, assim como o uso errôneo de antibióticos e a capacidade de adaptação das bactérias, contribuíram para o aumento da resistência aos antimicrobianos.
