Resistência antimicrobiana em Enterococcus faecalis e Enterococcus faecium isolados de carcaças de frango

Abstract

(B), vanC-1, aph(3')-llla, ant(6)-la, vanB, vanA, aac(6')--le-aph(2'')-la, erm(A) and tet(M) resistance genes, the last one most often verified. The results might suggest problems for public health due the high resistance, since these microorganisms have ability to transmit genes for antimicrobial resistance to others in the intestinal tract of humans and animals. Thus, the use of these drugs for clinical treatment could be hindered. (B), vanC-1, aph(3')-llla, ant(6)-la, vanB, vanA, aac(6')-le-aph(2'')-la, erm(A) e tet(M) -este último mais frequente. Estes resultados sugerem sérios problemas para a Saúde Pública, uma vez que esses microrganismos podem possuir a capacidade de transmitir genes de resistência antimicrobiana para outros microrganismos presentes na microbiota intestinal de humanos e animais, podendo inviabilizar o uso destas drogas para tratamentos clínicos.

Vancomycin and tetracycline-resistant enterococci from from raw and processed meats: phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of isolates

“…Similar resistance results for isolates obtained from foods were described previously (25) . Reports of intermediate resistance should be considered as a warning because intermediate strains are likely to migrate to the group of resistant strains following the inappropriate use of antimicrobials (13) . In this study, we observed that E. faecalis is more intrinsically resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents, in particular, to several β-lactam antibiotics, and clinical doses of aminoglycosides.…”

Vertebral Osteomyelitis in Broilers: A Review

“…Enterococci may not only contaminate raw meat, but may also be present in processed meat products, such as cured raw sausages or cooked products (Martin et al, 2005;Barbosa et al, 2009;Ruiz-Moyano et al, 2009). Although no food poisoning associated with E. faecalis has been described in humans, a recent study performed in Brazil showed the presence of this bacterium in 42% of the chicken carcasses tested (Campos et al, 2013). All strains were resistant to at least one of the antibiotics tested, with the detection of the antimicrobial resistance genes erm (B), vanC-1, aph(3')-llla, ant(6)-la, vanB, vanA, aac(6')-le-aph(2'')-la, erm(A)e tet(M).…”
