Abstract: Há alguns anos tem-se verificado um aumento progressivo da resistência de alguns cocos gram-positivos a determinados antimicrobianos. Este aumento da resistência tem sido observado principalmente no ambiente hospitalar, e as bactérias mais comumente envolvidas são os Staphylococcus spp. e os Enterococcus spp. Devido a este fato, novos antimicrobianos são avaliados para o tratamento de infecções causadas por estas cepas multirresistentes. A associação quinupristina/dalfopristina (Q/D), também conhecida como Syn… Show more

“…34 In this work, despite presenting excellent efficacy in the majority of the studied CoNS, intermediate resistance to this drug was detected in two S. epidermidis and one S. hemolyticus. In the study conducted by Mendes et al, 35 quinupristin/dalfopristin demonstrated excellent effectiveness for CoNS, the strains were fully susceptible, with MIC 90 values of 0.38 μg/mL for the oxacillin-susceptible strains and 0.75 μg/mL for the oxacillin resistant strains. In addition, Venkatesh et al 36 described good effectiveness of quinupristin/dalfopristin for oxacillin resistant and susceptible strains.…”

“…Antimicrobial resistance among pathogens commonly causing community‐acquired respiratory tract infections (RTIs) is a global problem, although the prevalence of resistance varies considerably by region as a result of numerous variables, such as differences in prescribing practice, dosage of drug used, or (among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates) predominant serotype. National and international surveillance programmes have played an important role in documenting resistance patterns of the common respiratory tract pathogens, S. pneumoniae , Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis [1–3].…”
