| Abstract | Este estudo avaliou a prevalencia de Staphylococcus isolados durante um ano em diferentes especimes clinicos de pacientes internados no Hospital Divina Providencia, Porto Alegre, RS. Quanto ao Staphylococcus aureus resistente a oxacilina (MRSA), a taxa mais alta foi observada nos pacientes que estavam internados nos andares (HDP), representando mais que o dobro das infeccoes do Centro de Terapia Intensiva (CTI). Os Staphylococcus coagulase negativo (SCN) sao frequentes contaminantes, mas constatou-se um aumento de sua participacao como agente etiologico em bacteremias, tendo sido isolado em 52,6% das amostras de sangue. Umachado importante foi que, entre todos os SCN isolados, 81,4% apresentaram resistencia a oxacilina (MRSCN). Faz-se importante a identificacao das especies de SCN uma vez que e possivel o isolamento de S. lugdunensis, uma bacteria que deve ser consideradaequivalente ao S. aureus e tambem realizar a pesquisa de resistencia a oxacilina de modo adequado. Assim, o tratamento pode ser conduzido de modo correto, sem subestimar a prevalencia deste Staphylococcus coagulase negativo e a resistencia a oxacilina. This study evaluated the prevalence of Staphylococcus isolates during one year in samples of patients of the Divina Providencia Hospital, Porto Alegre, RS. The rate highest of MRSA was observed in the patients who were interned in the floors (HDP), representing more than the double of the infections of the CTI. The SCN are more frequent as contaminants and evidenced an increase of its participation as etiologic agent, mainly, in blood infection being isolated in 52,6% of the samples of blood. An important finding was that, between all the isolates SCN, 81,4% of them had presented resistance to the oxacilin (MRSCN). The identification of the species of SCN becomes important a time that is possible the isolation of S. lugdunensis, a bacterium that must be considered equivalent to the S. aureus. Thus, the treatment can be lead in adjusted way, without to devaluate the prevalence of this Staphylococcus coagulase negative. |
