Anaerobic Bacteria with Clinical Relevance: Taxonomic and Morphological Classification, Presence in Human Microbiota and Microbiological Diagnosis

  • Authors: Alves J, Gonçalves E, Mansinho K, Peres S
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Acta Médica Portuguesa

The wide burden of anaerobic bacteria colonizing human body comprises about 90% of its total biomass. The biotic relationship between humans and its microbiota sets reciprocal benefits, albeit with pathogenic potencial for the human being in particular dysbiosis situations. Infections adjacent to or originating from the skin or mucous membranes of the intestinal, genitourinary and […]

Prevention and control of antimicrobial resistant healthcare associated infections: the Microbiology Laboratory rocks!

  • Authors: Couto I, Gonçalves E, Lapão LV, Póvoa P, Simões AS, Toscano C, Viveiros M
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Frontiers in Microbiology
  • Link: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmicb.2016.00855/full

This paper addresses the role and importance of the Microbiology Laboratory in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection and in Antibiotic Stewardship Programs and how it can be leveraged when combined with the use of information systems. Additionally, we critically review some challenges that the Microbiology Laboratory has to deal with, including the selection of analytic methods and the proper use of communication channels with other healthcare services.
