1. Avaliação do potencial das formigas como vetores mecâncios de micobactérias em hospital especializado na assistência de pacientes de tuberculose no Estado de São Paulo / Evaluation of ants as potential mechanical vectors of mycobacteria in a hospital specializing in assistance to TB patients, the state of São Paulo

Introduction- Urbanization triggers numerous disorders, such as the dissemination of arthropods and, consequently, dissemination of diseases transmitted by them. Some ant species are very adaptable to the human environment. At hospitals, once they are mechanical vectors of bacteria, and the diversity of species found in these environments, they can represent

2. Estudo fenotípico e molecular de micobacterias de crescimento rápido de interesse em Saúde Pública / Phenotypic and molecular study of mycobacteria fast-growing interest in public health

Mycobacterium chelonae-M. abscessus and Mycobacterium fortuitum-M. peregrinum complexes are composed by bacterial species characterized by rapid grow and considered as potential pathogens. These microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment, resistant to water treatment such as standard chlorination and are able to replicate even at poor nutrient conditio
