Different Enterobacteriaceae were assayed for their ability to produce the plant hormone indole-3-acetate with the aim to study the distribution of the indole-3-pyruvate pathway, which is known to be involved in the production of indole-3-acetate in a root-associated Enterobacter cloacae strain. Other E. cloacae strains, and also Enterobacter agglomerans strains, Pantoea agglomerans, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Klebsiella oxytoca were found to convert tryptophan into indole-3-acetate. As it was also intended to identify the conserved regions of the indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase, which is involved in producing indole-3-acetate in the E. cloacae strain, oligonucleotide primers were synthesized for different regions of the corresponding gene. One pair of these primers allowed us to amplify a segment of the predicted size by the polymerase chain reaction with DNA of the seven different Enterobacteriaceae that produce indole-3-acetate. Segments of five strains were cloned and sequenced. All sequences showed significant homology to the indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase gene. As in addition a positive DNA–DNA hybridization signal was detected in the seven strains using the E. cloacae or E. agglomerans segments as a probe, indole-3-acetate biosynthesis is suggested to be catalyzed via the indole-3-pyruvate pathway not only in E. cloacae but also in the other soil-living Enterobacteriaceae. Conserved regions were detected in the indole-3-decarboxylase by alignment of the now-available five different partial sequences. These regions should enable identification of the gene in other bacterial families or even in plants.Key words: indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase, indole-3-acetic acid production, auxin, polymerase chain reaction, Enterobacteriaceae.

<p><strong>Introdução:</strong> Os hospitais constituem importante fonte de infecções, pois, abrigam uma vasta gama de microrganismos, principalmente bactérias. A limpeza e desinfecção de superfícies em ambientes hospitalares são subsídios elementares e eficazes como medidas de controle para romper a cadeia epidemiológica das infecções. <strong>Objetivo</strong>: Verificar a prevalência de microrganismos em bandejas utilizadas pela enfermagem para a administração de medicamentos em ambiente hospitalar, através do crescimento dos mesmos por técnicas microbiológicas. <strong>Métodos:</strong> Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo transversal, de prevalência, com abordagem quantitativa realizada em um hospital de médio porte da região Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no segundo semestre de 2015. A coleta das amostras se deu por meio da técnica de swab, que consistiu em deslizar um swab na superfície das bandejas utilizadas para a administração dos medicamentos. Para a análise dos dados foi realizada a pesquisa microbiológica e utilizada a estatística descritiva mediante a distribuição da frequência. <strong>Resultados:</strong> Os microrganismos isolados foram: <em>Staphylococcus </em>coagulase negativa, <em>Acinetobacter baumanni</em>,  <em>Enterobacter agglomerans</em>, <em>Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella ozaenae</em>, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>Acinetobacter lwoffii, Pseudomonas stutzeri, </em><em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>. <strong>Conclusão:</strong> Demonstrando a importância de se realizar os processos de higienização correta das mãos, dos materiais, dos utensílios, dentre outras, como forma possível de reduzir a transferência de patógenos entre profissionais, pacientes e ambiente.</p>

Refractory Peritonitis

Two patients on CAPD developed peritonitis refractory to antibiotics appropriate to the cultured organisms. In one case, cultures remained positive for the offending bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and, in the other, cultures of Enterobacter agglomerans rapidly became negative but signs and symptoms of peritonitis persisted. Empiric clindamycin therapy was associated with rapid resolution of peritonitis in both instances without necessitating catheter removal. We suggest that, in selected cases of refractory peritonitis, the addition of clindamycin may lead to clearing of the infection with preservation of the peritoneal catheter.

Presumptive Escherichia coli counts for 312 samples of non-frozen ground beef were determined and compared with proposed Canadian standards. Results for frozen pork sausages, packaged at manufacturer level, indicated little difference in distribution of presumptive E. coli loads compared with retail ground beef. Use of solid media and direct inoculation of EC broth at 45 °C did not give alternative, rapid methods of estimating E. coli loads in ground beef. Counts on violet red bile agar (VRBA) within 18–24 h incubation at 35 °C gave reliable estimates of coliform bacteria (bile-precipitating colonies) and Enterobacteriaceae (total count), with only 1.3 and 10.7% false positives, respectively. Bile-precipitating isolates from VRBA were primarily E. coli, also Serratia liquefaciens, aerogenic Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Non-bile-precipitating colonies were primarily aerogenic E. agglomerans and S. liquefaciens; however, in the most probable number technique E. agglomerans was screened out. In addition to E. coli, E. agglomerans and S. liquefaciens were the principal types of Enterobacteriaceae in these samples. Enterobacter agglomerans gave a variety of IMViC reactions, including the type I (++−−) reaction, whereas S. liquefaciens were predominantly IMViC type −−++. Incubating EC broth at 45.5 °C, as opposed to 44.5 °C, reduced the number of false positives.
