“…Interestingly, sapovirus was positive by the FilmArray in 13 (5.6%) of 230 prospective samples. Identification of viral pathogens (e.g., sapovirus and norovirus) in diarrheal stool has important implications for antibiotic stewardship, since these pathogens are not susceptible to common antibiotics used to treat gastroenteritis (19)(20)(21). An important aspect of this study was the observation that a high percentage of stool samples were positive for Ն2 pathogens.…”

“…Such consultations may lead to irrational prescription of antibiotics in children. 22,23 This fact is more relevant when an estimate suggested about 150,000 under five diarrhoeal deaths in India are of Rotavirus origin. 24 Only a few percentage of the children received zinc solution during an episode of diarrhoea.…”

“…10,11 Em alguns casos o uso de antimicrobianos é indicado, contudo o uso inapropriado destes em diarréias autolimitantes e virais pode levar a emergência de mecanismos de resistência bacteriana. 12,13 Para a confirmação de S. coagulese positiva, foi semeada uma alçada da cultura de TSB em placas de Ágar Baird-Parker (BP) e incubadas a 36ºC/48h. Verificou-se a presença de colônias típicas para este micro-organismo (circulares, pretas ou cinzas, lisas, convexas, com bordas perfeitas e rodeadas por uma zona opaca ou halo transparente além da zona opaca).…”

“…Na presença de resultados bioquímicos compatíveis para Salmonella sp., as colônias foram submetidas à identificação sorológica com soro anti-salmonela polivalente somático (Probac de suscetibilidade dos micro-organismos isolados, foi utilizada a técnica de difusão em disco. 15 Foram utilizados os seguintes antibióticos: Gentamicina (10µg), Sulfazotrim (25µg), Norfloxacina (10µg), Cloranfenicol (30µg), Ampicilina (10µg), Ácido nalidíxico (30µg), Tetraciclina (30µg), Nitrofurantoína (300µg), além de Oxacilina (1µg) e Amicacina (30µg) para as cepas de S. coagulase positiva. Após 24h de incubação a 37˚C, foi realizada a leitura dos halos de inibição para a definição de sensibilidade ou resistência, obtida de forma comparativa com a tabela padrão descrita pelo protocolo M02-A11 do CLSI.…”
