Diagnóstico laboratorial da resistência à oxacilina em Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: Apesar das diversas recomendações disponíveis na literatura sobre o diagnóstico laboratorial da resistência à oxacilina em Staphylococcus aureus, a verdade é que ainda não existe consenso absoluto sobre qual ou quais métodos utilizar e quando utilizar cada um deles. Segundo a literatura, a maioria dos métodos disponíveis apresenta um índice não desprezível de erros diagnósticos. Em casos de isolados de processos infecciosos invasivos, ou de infecções persistentes e/ou refratárias aos antimicrobianos, o uso de … Show more

“…All samples assessed in the present study were sensitive to vancomycin. Vancomycin intermediate S. aureus (VISA) appeared in 1996, in Japan and, in 2002, in the United States of America the first vancomycin resistant S. Aureus (VRSA) was identified (3,9 ). In Brazil, in 2000, …”

“…Over the years, nosocomial S aureus has become resistant to most drugs usually employed in the clinical practice, and currently a significant percentage of these strains of community origin has also become multi-drug resistant (9) . Oxacillin is an important marker of resistance to other antimicrobial agents and several studies have demonstrated the increase in the resistance frequency to this drum among S. Aureus strains, both from community or hospital source (9)(10) .…”
