RESUMO

En Enterococcus spp. aislados de quesos de oveja se investigó la resistencia in vitro a antimicrobianos de utilización clínica. Se determinó la concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) para gentamicina, estreptomicina, vancomicina, teicoplanina, ampicilina, imipenem, linezolid y tigeciclina. Se detectó la producción de β-lactamasa y se realizaron experimentos de conjugación para transferir resistencia a gentamicina. En un aislamiento de E. faecalis y en 10 de E. faecium se observó resistencia a ampicilina; se demostró la producción de β-lactamasa en un E. faecalis. En E. faecium, 15 aislamientos fueron resistentes a imipenem; 4 a linezolid y 5 a glucopéptidos. En 4 aislamientos de E. faecalis se demostró alto nivel de resistencia plasmídica a gentamicina. No se observaron aislamientos resistentes a tigeciclina. El queso de oveja es un reservorio de enterococos resistentes con potencial diseminación al hombre a través de la cadena alimentaria.


In vitro resistance to clinically used antimicrobials was investigated in Enterococcus spp. isolated from goat cheese. The gentamycin, streptomycin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, ampicillin, imipenem, linezolid and tigecyclin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined. Β-lactamase production was detected and conjugation experiments were carried out for transferring gentamycin resistance. In one E. faecalis and in 10 E. faecium isolates there was ampicillin resistance and β-lactamase production was demonstrated in one E. faecalis. Fifteen E. faecalis were imipenenem resistant; 4 linezolid resistant and 5 glucopeptide resistant. There was a high level of plasmidic resistance to tigecyclin in 4 E. faecalis isolates. There were no tigecyclin resistant isolates. Goat cheese is a reservoir of resistant enterococci with potencial human dissemination through the food chain.

RESUMO

Se informan dos casos de celulitis cutánea en trabajadores de un mismo criadero de aves a corral del área rural de la ciudad de Tandil, Argentina. En ambos pacientes fue identificado E. rhusiopathiae a partir de cultivos de muestras obtenidas por biopsia. La investigación del reservorio evidenció que en todas las muestras de las excretas de aves y en dos muestras de los residuos del alimento, se aisló E. rhusiopathiae con idéntico perfil bioquímico y de resistencia antimicrobiana al de las cepas aisladas de los dos casos clínicos. Si bien son necesarios estudios moleculares para establecer la relación epidemiológica entre las cepas aisladas de los pacientes y las del criadero, se puede inferir que la fuente de infección humana fue el criadero extensivo de aves de corral.


This report describes two cases of cutaneous cellulitis in workers at the same poultry farm in the rural area of Tandil, Argentina. In both patients E. rhusiopathiae was identified from culture samples obtained through biopsy. Investigation of the reservoir showed that, in all samples of fowl waste and in 2 samples of feed, E. rhusiopathiae was isolated with identical biochemical and antibiotic resistance profiles to those of the isolated strains in the case reports. Even though molecular analyses are required to establish an epidemiologic relation between the strains found in the patients and those on the farm, it can be inferred that the source of human infection was the extensive poultry farm.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to relate personal data, socio-cultural and environmental characteristics, and the presence of symptoms/signs with the frequencies of Giardia spp. and Blastocystis hominis among a rural population in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Of the surveyed population (350), 3.7% were infected with only Giardia spp. or 22.9% with B. hominis, and 2.3% were infected with both protozoa. The frequency of infection according to sex; 6.1% of males were infected and 1.6% of females by Giardia spp., 26.7% and 19.5% by B. hominis, and 2.4% and 2.2% by both parasites, respectively. Giardia spp. was detected in only three adults (over 14 years), but B. hominis was more frequent in adults than in children. The prevalences of these protozoa in this community are lower than those reported by other Argentinean studies, which is probably associated with the low density of the studied population (5.95 inhab/km2). Statistical analysis revealed that a male sex, flooding of the home, the use of a latrine, and an abdominal pain were correlated with the presence of these parasites, which indicate the importance of these factors in rural communities.

RESUMO

Con el objeto de recuperar e identificar contaminantes parasitarios se estudiaron muestras de suelo de todos los paseos públicos del área urbana de La Plata, Argentina. Se analizaron 23 paseos durante los meses de marzo y abril de 2000 y al mismo tiempo se evaluó el pH y la humedad de cada muestra. Se observaron 552 elementos parasitarios, 98 correspondieron a quistes de protozoos, 106 a huevos de helmintos y 348 a larvas de nematodos. Se demostró que los suelos de los paseos analizados estaban contaminados con parásitos de origen humano y animal

RESUMO

A survey for intestinal parasites was performed on 38 individuals within the urban area of La Plata city (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). This community is composed of brick-factory workers who also live in the factory premises. An analysis for intestinal parasites was done on fecal samples collected serially and by means of anal swabs and there after preserved in formol solution. At the same time, the ocurrence of the parasites under study as well as that of commensal organisms was investigated in water and soil samples within the factory environs. Information was also obtained from the members of this community as their age, sex, birthplace and recent travels, either abroad or to the interior of Argentina. The prevalence of the pathogens and commensal parasites was 89,5 percent. The frecuency of protozoans and helminths was: G. lamblia 26,3 percent; B. hominis 65,8 percent; A. lumbricoides 7,9 percent; H. nana 2,6 percent; uncinaria sp. 7,9 percent; S. stercoralis 2,6 percent and E. vermicularis 42,1 percent. None of these parasite or commensal organisms were present in the water samples investigated. Four out of 20 soil samples analyzed contained parasitic elements T. canis eggs (one); G. liamblia cysts (two) and A. lumbricoides eggs (one). These results indicated that most important factors causing such a high prevalence of coproparasites were the poor conditions of personal and community hygiene in combination with the frequent travels to the north and the northeast of the country, regions which are endemic parasitic areas. The implementation of programs on health education and communal sanitation would contribute in the control of this health problem
