Resumo: Asymptomatic meningococcus carriers in hospitals is a risk factor for acquiring meningococcal disease. Meningococcal carrier (MC) frequency was investigated in oropharyngeal swab samples collected from 200 staff members at a teaching hospital from Brazil. MC prevalence was 9 % (95 % CI 5---13 %). Risk factors associated with MC were: mean age of 26.5 years, male gender, bar attendance frequency and number of persons/house. Of 18 isolated meningococcal strains, 14 were non-groupable (NG), 3 corrresponded to serogroup B and 1 to serogroup 29E. The frequency of serotypes and serosubtypes was heterogenous, with a slight predominance of serotypes 4 and 7 and serosubtypes P1.7 and P1.5. Most strains (n = 13) were susceptible to the antimicrobials tested. The ctrA gene (PCR) was identified in 9 (64.3 %) of the 14 NG strains, suggesting virulence in most of the NG isolated strains. Therefore, a constant surveillance of these asymptomatic carriers is required.

La frecuencia de portadores de meningococos fue determinada a través de colecta orofaríngea en personal de un hospital de Brasil (n = 200). La prevalencia de portadores fue del 9 % (IC del 95 %, 5-13 %). Los FR asociados al estado de portador fueron los siguientes: edad promedio 26,5 anos, ˜ sexo masculino, hábito de frecuentar bares y número de personas/casa. Entre las 18 cepas de meningococos aisladas, 14 eran no agrupables (NG), 3 correspondieron al serogrupo B y una al 29E. La frecuencia de los serotipos y serosubtipos fue heterogénea, con un ligero predominio de los serotipos 4 y 7 y de los serosubtipos P1.7 y P1.5. La mayoría de las cepas (n = 13) fueron sensibles a los antimicrobianos estudiados. El gen ctrA fue identificado por PCR en 9 (64,3 %) de las 14 cepas NG, lo que sugiere virulencia en la mayoría de las cepas NG aisladas. Por lo tanto, se requiere una vigilancia constante de estos portadores asintomáticos.2017-01-15T19:28:51Z2017-01-15T19:28:51Z2015info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfGIOIA, Carolina Alicia Coch et al.
