Abstract(s)
Staphylococcus aureus e Staphylococcus aureus resistentes à meticilina (MRSA) são
microrganismos seguramente relevantes em toda a medicina, fortes colonizadores da cavidade
oral, responsáveis por inúmeras infeções graves e mortes por todo o mundo. Infeções que
envolvam estirpes resistentes a antibióticos devem ser encaradas como problema de saúde
pública. Protocolos de controlo de infeção e de descolonização devem ser fortemente
estudados de modo a diminuir o potencial desenvolvimento de resistências e contribuir para
uma melhor erradicação da bactéria, tanto em ambiente hospitalar como na comunidade. A
literatura evidencia a prevalência na cavidade oral destes microrganismos e o movimento
bidirecional das estirpes hospitalares com as encontradas na comunidade. Em suma, novas
estratégias de combate à infeção devem ser pensadas e novos antibióticos desenvolvidos para
melhor tratar e controlar as infeções provocadas por esta bactéria.
Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are important microorganisms in medicine, strong colonizers of the oral cavity, responsible for numerous serious infections and deaths worldwide. Infections involving strains resistant to antibiotics should be considered a public health problem. Infection control and decolonization protocols should be strongly studied in order to reduce the potential development of resistance and contribute to a better eradication of the bacteria, both in the hospital and in the community. The literature shows the prevalence in the oral cavity of these microorganisms and the bidirectional movement of the hospital strains with those found in the community. In short, new strategies to fight infection should be thought of and new antibiotics developed to better treat and control the infections caused by these bacteria.
