We describe a case of infection with Cronobacter sakazakii sequence type 494 causing bacteremia and meningitis in a hospitalized late premature infant in Brazil. We conducted microbiological analyses on samples of powdered infant formula from the same batch as formula ingested by the infant but could not identify the source of contamination.

Biofilms formation by the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) poses a considerable risk to hospital environments, particularly for immunocompromised individuals. These bacteria exhibit notable resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics, mainly due to their ability to adhere to biotic and abiotic surfaces, forming highly persistent biofilms, contamination, and pharmaceutical solutions. These microbial structures function as protective shields, impeding the effective action of antimicrobial compounds and facilitating the occurrence of chronic infections and outbreaks in healthcare settings. The high genetic plasticity of the Bcc, evidenced by the presence of multiple chromosomes and the ease of horizontal gene transfer, further enhances its capacity for adaptation and treatment resistance. Moreover, the ability of the Bcc to survive in aquatic environments and withstand unfavorable conditions heightens concerns regarding the contamination of pharmaceutical products. This study examines the molecular mechanisms underlying Bcc biofilm formation, its impact on hospital infections, and the challenges associated with its eradication. It also discusses the current detection techniques available and innovative approaches to mitigating contamination in pharmaceutical products. In summary, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms underlying Bcc biofilm formation and maintenance is crucial for implementing more effective preventive measures and minimizing the risks associated with hospital infections.

Resumo O linfedema é uma condição crônica que afeta negativamente a função e a qualidade de vida. Atualmente, não existe tratamento definitivo. Todavia, algumas opções foram propostas para amenizar suas consequências. Entre elas, destaca-se a terapia complexa descongestiva (TCD), que se configura como um dos principais métodos de escolha de tratamento. Esta revisão sistemática teve por objetivo avaliar a eficácia dessa técnica no tratamento de linfedemas nos membros inferiores. Os resultados revelaram que a TCD foi eficaz na redução do volume das extremidades afetadas. No entanto, algumas questões ainda não foram elucidadas, tais como: por quanto tempo os pacientes se beneficiam com o uso da TCD? Como manter os ganhos obtidos? Diante da heterogeneidade, da insatisfatória qualidade metodológica dos trabalhos disponíveis e da inexistência de protocolo padrão para aplicação da técnica, não foi possível realizar a metanálise, o que demonstra que há muito a se avançar na investigação e na terapêutica do linfedema.
