Tratamento e prevenção das infecções e da colonização por Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

RESUMO: O número de infecções adquiridas na comunidade e nosocomiais por Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) aumentou nos últimos 20 anos. Durante o período de 1990 a 1992, este microrganismo tornou-se a causa mais frequente de infecções nosocomiais1,2. Por outro lado, como resultado da pressão de selecção dos antibióticos, tem havido um aumento dramático na proporção de infecções por S. aureus meticilino-resistente (SAMR) 3,4. Com a emergência recente de estirpes multirresistentes, incluindo a resistência aos glicopeptídeos, o tratamento destas infecções tornou-se ainda mais difícil2,4 â6.à importante prevenir a emergência de mais estirpes resistentes. Para que isso aconteça, deve ser optimizado o uso da antibioterapia, desenvolvidos métodos laboratoriais para a detecção de microrganismos resistentes e devem ser tomadas precauções estritas no seguimento da infecção ou colonização de doentes com estas estirpes 6 â10.Neste trabalho é feita uma uma revisão da história evolutiva dos anti-estafilocócicos e apresentadas as orientações actuais de tratamento e prevenção das infecções e da colonização pelo Staphylococcus aureus.REV PORT PNEUMOL 2003; IX (5): 395-409 ABSTRACT: The number of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) community and nosocomial acquired infections have increased in the last twenty years. Between 1990 and 1992, this pathogen has become the most frequent source of nosocomial infections 1,2. On the other hand, as result of antibiotherapy selection pressure, we observe a dramatic increase in the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections 3,4. With the recent emergence of multirresistant strains, including glycopeptides resistance, the treatment of these infections became still more difficult 2,4â6.Itâs important to prevent resistant strains emergence. To prevent further emergence of resistant strains, the use of antibiotherapy must be optimised, laboratory methods for the detection of resistant pathogens must be enhanced and strict precautions should be taken following of the infection or colonization of patients 6â10.In this paper, we review anti-staphylococci history evolution and point out the present recommendations for the treatment and prevention of Staphylococcus aureus infections and colonization.REV PORT PNEUMOL 2003; IX (5): 395-409 Palavras-chave: Staphylococcus aureus, estafilococos meticilino-resistentes, anti-estafilocócicos, oxacillina, glicopeptídeos, vancomicina, linezolide, dalfopristina-quinopristina, Key-words: Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, anti-staphylococci, oxacillin, glycopeptide, vancomycin, linezolid, dalfopristin-quinopristin
