RESUMO
Surgical environment can play as a source of multidrug-resistance organism, what can pose as a big threat to the patients and health care professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profile of Gram-positive cocci (GPC) and Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) isolated from the surgical environment. All samples were collected during the intraoperative period of clean/clean-contaminated (G1) and contaminated (G2) surgery. A total of 150 samples were collected from the superficial surgical site in the beginning (nâ¯=â¯30) and the end (nâ¯=â¯30) of the procedure, surgeon's hands before (nâ¯=â¯30) and after (nâ¯=â¯30) antisepsis, and the surgical environment (nâ¯=â¯30). MALDI-TOF MS and antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion method were performed for species identification, and determination of the resistance profile. Sixty-eight isolates of GPC and 15 of GNB were obtained. Staphylococcus spp. were the most frequent species isolated from surgical site (55.26% [21/38]), surgeon's hands (46.15% [6/13]), and environment (56.67% [17/30]). GPC were mostly resistance to penicillin (85.71% [54/63]), and erythromycin (77.78% [49/63]), and GNB were mostly resistance to cefazolin (58.33% [7/12]), and azithromycin (58.33% [7/12]). High incidence of multidrug resistance was observed in coagulase-negative staphylococci (86.21% [25/29]), coagulase-positive staphylococci (86.67% [13/15]), Enterococcus spp. (68.42% [13/19]) and Gram-negative bacilli (60% [9/15]). The high rate of resistance of commensal bacteria found in our study is worrying. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are community pathogens related to nosocomial infections in human and veterinary hospitals, their presence in healthy patients and in veterinary professionals represent an important source of infection in the One Health context. Continuous surveillance and application of antimicrobial stewardship programs are essential in the fight against this threat.

The temperature gradients are dynamic and noninvasive monitoring techniques that provide information on peripheral blood flow and have been related to the prognosis of patients with circulatory shock. This study evaluated 47 elderly domestic cats' temperature gradients, and we measured central (rectal) and peripheral (palmar, plantar and medial region of the radio) temperatures. Values found in this study are compatible with studies in young felines and differ from dogs and humans. The mean gradients found were 7.5°C for the central-peripheral; 5.6°C for the peripheral-environmental; 2.7°C for the skin-diff; and 0°C for the member-diff and the variables age and gender do not seem to influence these measurements. To the authors' knowledge, there is no description of temperature gradients in elderly domestic cats, so this study pretends to clarify the vasoconstriction response in this group of animals.(AU)

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate plasma lactate concentrations and core-peripheral temperature gradients as perfusion parameters in dogs with heart failure caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and to determine whether the above perfusion parameters are correlated with disease stages. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: University teaching hospital. ANIMALS: After excluding 129 dogs because of exclusion criteria, 7 dogs with heart failure classified as stage B2 and 10 dogs classified as stage C according to the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) were included in the study. Six dogs without MMVD were evaluated as the control group. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Among the evaluated parameters, the plasma lactate concentrations were increased in stage C (median 3.70 mmol/L [33.3 mg/dL], interquartile range (IQR) 0.72 mmol/L [6.5 mg/dL]) compared with those in the control (median 2.80 mmol/L [25.2 mg/dL], IQR 0.8 mmol/L [7.2 mg/dL]; P = 0.024) and stage B2 groups (median 2.70 mmol/L [24.3 mg/dL], IQR 1.8 mmol/L [16.2 mg/dL]; P = 0.045). Significant differences were not observed in the core-peripheral temperature gradients among the control, stage B2, and stage C dogs. CONCLUSIONS: Dogs with structural heart disease as a result of MMVD may have occult tissue hypoperfusion in stage C that is demonstrated by hyperlactatemia.
