“…Comparing the antimicrobial resistance burden found herein, with other studies conducted in different regions in our country, both colonization and invasive infection isolates seem to present a similar antimicrobial resistance profile. Studies conducted in the southern Brazilian region, such as Santa Catarina [37], the northern region, such as Piauí [38], Bahia [39], and Paraíba [40], and the southeastern region [2,3] with invasive infection and colonization isolates, present antimicrobial resistance profiles similar to ours. These isolates present mainly resistance to erythromycin, clindamycin, and ciprofloxacin.…”

“…These isolates present mainly resistance to erythromycin, clindamycin, and ciprofloxacin. Although similar patterns of antimicrobial resistance are observed, the resistance frequency among the isolates in relation to tetracycline (8.06% in invasive infections and 4.7% in colonization), for example, presents a lower frequency when compared to others studies conducted in our region and other regions of Brazil [2,3,37,38,40]. Thus, showing that regional characteristics such as measures for the control and treatment of MRSA infections can influence the particularities found in circulating strains, reinforcing the need for active surveillance of circulating strains and the treatment procedure must be tailored based on the specific region of Brazil.…”

“…A internação favorece a exposição dos pacientes a uma ampla variedade de patógenos, ao mesmo tempo em que procedimentos invasivos são realizados rotineiramente e a administração de antimicrobianos de amplo espectro é comum. O aparato tecnológico utilizado na assistência permite prolongar a sobrevida dos pacientes em condições clínicas muito difíceis e embora essa seja a razão para uma evolução altamente positiva, é um dos fatores determinantes para o aumento do risco de Infecções Relacionadas à Saúde (IRAS) ou Infecções Hospitalares (IHs) em pacientes críticos (OLIVEIRA et al, 2018).…”
