“…9 Besides, the essential oils of M. alternifolia and related species exhibit activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV), causal agent of labial herpes. 10 The oil is also used for treatment of human melanoma, 11 insect bites, skin infections, 12 subcutaneous infections caused by fungi, 13 oral and genital candidiasis, 14 treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 15 and respiratory infections. 16 These volatile oils are widely used in industry due to their broad-spectrum of antimicrobial properties.…”

Recebido em 10/2/09; aceito em 24/6/09; publicado na web em 13/11/09The essential oils of seven Myrtaceae species were investigated for its chemical composition and antibacterial activity. The volatile oils were characterized by a high content of monoterpenoids of which 1,8-cineole (88.0, 65.0 and 77.0% for Melaleuca hypericifolia, Callistemon viminalis and Callistemon citrinus respectively), terpinen-4-ol (47.0 and 49.8% for Melaleuca thymifolia and Callistemon polandii respectively) and α-pinene (54.5% for Kunzea ericoides) were the major components. The oil from M. linariifolia was characterized by a high concentration of methyleugenol (87.2%). The oil from Melaleuca thymifolia was the most active, exhibiting high antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria.

ABSTRACT:The objective of this article was to establish the main indications, advantages and limitations of the decolonization of patients with Staphylococcus aureus. An integrative literature review was performed on the LILACS, MEDLINE, Science Direct, SCOPUS and Isi Web of Knowledge databases for articles published after 1999. The main indications for decolonization pertained to high-risk patients (admitted to the ICU, post-operative, long stay, etcetera). The advantages were based on the eradication of the microorganism, reducing infection rates and the spread of the microorganism. The observed controversies were due to the possibility of increasing bacterial resistance and lack of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of the eradication of the colonizing microorganism, as well as reducing infection rates. Thus, it was observed that decolonization should not be indicated routinely; rather, it should only be recommended for patients at risk and during outbreaks. DESCRIPTORS: Infection control. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Cross infection. Bacterial drug resistance. DESCOLONIZAÇÃO DE PORTADORES DE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS:INDICAÇÕES, VANTAGENS E LIMITAÇÕES RESUMO: O objetivo deste artigo foi estabelecer as principais indicações, vantagens e limitações da descolonização de pacientes portadores de Staphylococcus aureus. Procedeu-se a uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com busca de artigos nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, Science Direct, SCOPUS e Isi Web of Knowledge, e em publicações a partir de 1999. As principais indicações encontradas foram direcionadas aos pacientes considerados de alto risco (admitidos em UTI, submetidos à cirurgia, com longa permanência, etc.). As vantagens fundamentaram-se na erradicação do microrganismo, redução da taxas de infecção e na disseminação destes. As controvérsias se deram pela possibilidade do aumento da resistência bacteriana e pela falta de evidências científicas sobre a eficácia da eliminação do microrganismo colonizante e da redução da taxa de infecção. Observou-se que a descolonização não deve ser indicada como rotina, mas, sim, deve ser recomendada apenas para pacientes de risco e durante surtos. DESCRITORES: Controle de infecções.Staphylococcus aureus resistente à meticilina. Infecção hospitalar. Farmacorresistência bacteriana.
