Orientador: Marcelo de Carvalho Ramos / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciencias Medicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-10T01:23:41Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cacci_LucianaCamila_M.pdf: 1733904 bytes, checksum: 2616f843895d251e8e236cdd873fe436 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: Introdução: As metalo beta-lactamases, presentes em Pseudomonas aeruginosa assim como em diversos microrganismos Gram negativos, são grande ameaça ao tratamento dos pacientes portadores de infecções causadas por este microrganismo. Objetivos: A produção de MBLs e a relação genética foram investigadas em isolados de P. aeruginosa resistentes ao Imipenem, recuperados de infecções hospitalares. Descrição do estudo: Estudo restropectivo em uma amostra de microrganismos. O estudo foi conduzido em dois hospitais universitários, em Campinas. Todos os isolados de P. aeruginosa resistentes ao Imipenem foram coletados de pacientes hospitalizados no período de Março de 2000 a Dezembro de 2004. Métodos: O método da disco-difusão foi utilizado para confirmar a resistência ao Imipenem. O E-test MBL@ foi feito para verificar a produção de MBLs e a Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) do Imipenem. Os ftagmentos das seqüências dos genes blaIMP-I, blaVIM-I, blaVIM-2 e blaSPM-I foram amplificados. Resultados: Cento e vinte e oito isolados resistentes ao Imipenem foram coletados durante o período do estudo. A maioria dos isolados exibiu CIM do Imipenem maior ou igual a 256 ug/mL. A análise por macrorestrição com a enzima SpeI através do Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) mostrou um polimorfismo significativo. Apenas 15 cepas puderam ser distribuídas em sete "clusters", seis com dois isolados e um com três isolados. Noventa e oito isolados resistentes ao Imipenem foram triados para a pesquisa da produção de MBL. Setenta isolados apresentaram produção de MBL e o fragmento do gene blaSPM-l pôde ser amplificado em 12 isolados. Nas cepas restantes nenhum outro tipo de MBL referente aos genes blaIMP-l, blaVIM-I, blaVIM-2 foi encontrado. Conclusão: A disseminação de cepas de P. aeruginosa produtoras de MEL genotipicamente heterogêneas foi documentada nos hospitais estudados. Apenas a metalo beta-lactamase SPM-1 foi encontrada entre essas cepas / Abstract: Objective: Genetic relatedness and Metallo-lactamase production was investigated in Imipenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from hospital acquired infections. Design: Descriptive study in a convenient sample of organisms. Setting: Two 400-bed tertiary care teaching hospitals, in Campinas, Brazil. All Imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa, recovered from March, 2000 through December 2004 from hospitalized patients were collected Methods: Disk diffusion tests were used to confirm Imipenem resistance. E-test MBL@ was done to check for MBL production, ando Imipenem MIC's blasPM-l, .blaIMP-l, blaVIM-l and blaVIM-2 sequences were amplified. Results: A sample of 128 Imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa isolates was collected during the study period. Most isolates exhibited Imipenem MIC's > 256 ug/mL. Macrorestriction analysis (Spel) using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed a substantial polymorphism. Only 15 strains could be allocated to seven clusters, six with two isolates and one with three isolates. Ninety-eight Imipenem resistant isolates were screened for MBL production. Seventy isolates showed MBL production, and blasPM-l sequence could be amplified from 12 isolates. In the remaining strains no other MBL-type from blaIMP-l, blaVIM-l and blaVIM-2 investigated in the study was demonstrated. Conclusion: Dissemination of MBL producing-genotypically heterogenous Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains was documented in the hospitals studied. Only SPM-l metallo-_-lactamase was found among these strains / Mestrado / Ciencias Basicas / Mestre em Clinica Medica

Modulations nutritionnelles de la réponse à l'infection pulmonaire à P. aeruginosa dans différents fonds génétiques murins / Nutritional modulation of the response to pulmonary infection with P. aeruginosa in different murine genetic backgrounds

Bernard, Henry 06 December 2011 (has links)
Certains composants nutritionnels sont capables de moduler la réaction inflammatoire et la réponse immune. Ils pourraient être très utiles dans l’augmentation de la résistance de l’hôte aux maladies infectieuses, en particulier dans l’infection pulmonaire à P. aeruginosa qui est caractérisée par une réponse inflammatoire excessive et dont la sévérité est associée à une réponse immunitaire de type Th2. Le premier objectif de ce travail a été de tester l’effet anti-inflammatoire d’un régime enrichi acides gras polyinsaturés n-3 (EPA/DHA) au cours d’une infection pulmonaire aigue à P. aeruginosa sur des souris déficientes pour le gène cftr. Des résultats antérieurs suggérant que les souris femelles sont plus sensibles à l’infection que les souris mâles, les bénéfices de cette alimentation ont été analysés selon le sexe des souris. Le second objectif a été d’étudier l’effet des oligosaccharides acides dérivés de la pectine de Citrus (pAOS) au cours d’une infection pulmonaire chronique à P. aeruginosa. L’hypothèse testée était que les pAOS en favorisant le balancement de la réponse Th2 vers une réponse Th1 pourrait améliorer le pronostic de l’infection. Leur effet immunomodulateur a été évalué chez deux fonds génétiques murins différents : des souris BALB/c et C57BL/6 connues pour développer respectivement une réponse immune de type Th2 et Th1. Ces 3 études sont basées sur l’administration endo-trachéale d’une suspension de P. aeruginosa pour l’infection aigue ou de P. aeruginosa inclus dans des billes d’agar pour une infection chronique chez des souris nourries pendant 6 semaines (souris cftr-/-) et 5 semaines (BALB/c et C57BL/6) par une diète contrôle ou d’une diète spécifique. Les paramètres cliniques mesurés sont la survie et la clairance bactérienne pulmonaire, et les paramètres biologiques sont pour la réponse inflammatoire le dénombrement des polynucléaires, des macrophages et le dosage de cytokines pro- et anti-inflammatoires et pour la réponse immune le dosage des cytokines Th1 et Th2, l’expression de marqueurs de différentiation des lymphocytes Th1, Th2 et de polarisation des macrophages M1 et M2. Les souris BALB/c et C57BL/6 survivantes à une première infection ont été réinfectées et leur charge bactérienne pulmonaire a été mesurée. / Some nutritional components are able to modulate the inflammatory response and the immune response. They could be very useful in increasing the host resistance to infectious diseases, particularly in the P. aeruginosa pulmonary infection which is characterized by an excessive inflammatory response and the severity of which is associated with a Th2 type immune response. The first objective of this study was to test the anti-inflammatory effect of a diet enriched in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA/DHA) during an acute pulmonary infection with P. aeruginosa in mice deficient for the cftr gene. Because previous results suggested that female mice are more susceptible to infection than male mice, the benefits of this diet were analyzed according to the mice gender. The second objective was to study the effect of acidic oligosaccharides derived from citrus pectin (pAOS) during a chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa. The hypothesis was that pAOS by promoting the balancing of the Th2 response towards a Th1 response could improve the prognosis of the infection. Their immunomodulatory effect was evaluated in two different murine genetic backgrounds: BALB/c and C57BL/6, known to develop respectively a Th2 and a Th1 immune response. These three studies are based on the endotracheal administration of a suspension of P. aeruginosa for the acute infection or P. aeruginosa embedded in agar beads for the chronic infection in mice fed a control diet or a specific diet for 6 weeks (cftr-/- mice) or 5 weeks (BALB/c and C57BL/6). The clinical parameters measured were survival and pulmonary bacterial clearance. Biological parameters for the inflammatory response were the polymorphonuclear cells and macrophages counting and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines assay in the bronchoalveolar lavage, and for the immune response the Th1 and Th2 cytokines assay, the expression of differentiation markers of Th1 and Th2 cells and M1 and M2 macrophages. BALB/c and C57BL/6 surviving at the first infection were reinfected and the pulmonary bacterial load was measured.

Optimización de parámetros fermentativos para la producción de ramnolípidos por Pseudomonas aeruginosa 6K-11 por cultivos sumergidos a escala laboratorio

Guzmán Córdova, Jaime Augusto January 2016 (has links)
Publicación a texto completo no autorizado por el autor. / Los ramnolípidos son biosurfactantes producidos por una gran cantidad de microorganismos, estos presentan gran diversidad de aplicaciones, siendo una de sus más importantes aplicaciones es en procesos de biorremediación en áreas contaminadas con hidrocarburos y metales pesados. El presente estudio está enfocado en investigar algunos de los parámetros fermentativos críticos para la producción de ramnolípidos por Pseudomonas aeruginosa 6k-11 usando dos fuentes de nitrógeno orgánica e inorgánica y dos diseños experimentales. El proceso para la producción de ramnolípidos fue optimizado usando un diseño central compuesto y Box Behnken como diseños experimentales y metodología de superficie de respuesta. Los factores tomados en cuenta para su estudio fueron el pH, temperatura, velocidad de agitación y porcentaje de inóculo. La máxima producción para la fuente de nitrógeno orgánica (triptona y urea) fue 23,2 g/L de ramnolípidos después de 168 horas de fermentación con las variables: 170 rpm de velocidad de agitación, 31,9°C de temperatura, 6,8 de pH, 6,8 (v/v) % de inóculo. La máxima producción teniendo como fuente de nitrógeno inorgánico (nitrato de sodio) fue 25,7 g/L de ramnolípidos luego de 168 horas de fermentación con las variables de fermentación: 185,8 rpm de velocidad de agitación, 31,3 °C de temperatura, 6,8 de pH, 7,3% de inóculo. Experimentalmente se confirmó 24,01 ±1,5 g/L y 28,01 ± 2,5 g/L de ramnolípidos para el medio I y II respectivamente. Los resultados de la presente investigación sugieren que la aplicación de la modelización matemática es muy eficaz para determinar las condiciones óptimas de reacción y mejorar el rendimiento de bioprocesos microbianos. / Tesis
