Bactérias gram-positivas problemas: resistência do estafilococo, do enterococo e do pneumococo aos antimicrobianos

Abstract: The resistance in staphylococci, enterococci, and pneumococci is reviewed. The author also recalls the first cases, and presents an overview of the distribution of cases in the world, the genetic and molecular mechanisms of resistance, the importance in Brazil and therapeutic alternatives. The factors that contribute to the dissemination of these problem bacteria and the measures for their control are emphasized.

“…In humans, the bacterial resistance increased in isolated samples of infectious process and it seems to be not only by the bad and intensive use, but also by the food transmission of animal origin or by the direct contact with livestock animals (Zafalon et al, 2008). Staphylococcus spp., in general, presented high resistance to the beta-lactam penicillin antibiotics, above 70.0% to penicillin G, as well as to ampicillin, amoxicillin and carbenicillin (Tavares, 2000). Against the action of these antibiotics, 70.0% of Staphylococcus spp., isolates were resistant to penicillin, 40.0% to ampicillin and 50.0% to amoxicillin.…”

“…Atualmente, no Brasil, a situação da resistência dos Staphylococcus à meticilina, e conseqüentemente à oxacilina, já que ambos possuem o mesmo mecanismo de ação, têm apresentado uma grande variação entre os estados de uma mesma região e entre os hospitais analisados no mesmo estado, devendo ser avaliada localmente 16 .…”
