Abstract: Resumo: Staphylococcus aureus é uma bactéria responsável por uma ampla variedade de enfermidades infecciosas. A grande preocupação está relacionada, principalmente, com os isolados resistentes à meticilina (MRSA), que, tradicionalmente, estavam limitados aos hospitais. Nos últimos anos, infecções causadas por MRSA associadas ou adquiridas na comunidade (CA-MRSA) têm sido relatadas com frequência crescente em todo o mundo. Algumas características fenotípicas e genéticas são distintas entre a forma de infecção h… Show more

“…With the emergence of multidrug resistant strains, like community acquired MRSA infections (CA-MRSA), any agent with an antistaphylococcal activity plays an important role in the limited armamentarium against these microorganisms, especially if the drug can also combat severe systemic infections, as fusidic acid does. 12,29 In the literature, there is growing evidence of numerous clinical benefits of topical applied antibiotics (apart from impetigo treatment), notably S. aureus decolonization. In AD patients, despite a recent randomized placebo controlled study that suggested the efficacy of antiseptics and mupirocin in decreasing the clinical severity of the disease, pooled evidence failed to demonstrate that antimicrobial administration (topical or systemic) aimed at reducing S. aureus colonization is clinically useful.…”

“…The microorganism is responsible for enormous variety of infections, such as subcutaneous and skin infections, osteomielites, pneumonias, abscesses, endocarditic and bacteremia (Gelatti, Bonamigo, Becker, & d'Azevedo, 2009). The prevalence of the bacteria in the population is so high that it is likely impossible to completely eliminate them.…”

“…10 Fatores como internação em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs), hospitalização prolongada, procedimentos invasivos e exposição repetida a antibióticos propiciam o contato com o agente. 11,12,13 A presença de determinados microorganismos em fômites hospitalares pode indicar condições higiênicosanitárias insatisfatórias, representando, também, uma importante fonte de transmissão de enfermidades. 14 Frente a isso, o presente trabalho tem o propósito de analisar a presença de S. aureus nas maçanetas das portas dos quartos hospitalares, por ser um fômite que proporciona, de forma facilitada, a transmissão de tal agente infeccioso.…”
