Revista Argentina de Microbiología is published by the Asociación Argentina de Microbiología (AAM) on a quarterly basis. The aim of this journal is to publish current scientific works in the different areas of Microbiology and Parasitology. Some of the topics considered of special interest are: infections caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses; mechanisms of pathogenicity, and virulence factors; resistance to antimicrobial agents; taxonomy; epidemiology and phenotypic, immunologic and molecular diagnostic methods. RAM also publishes articles on microbial ecology and diversity, zoo- and phytopathogens and microorganisms of value for food, agronomic, industrial and environmental applications. With the purpose of covering basic aspects of research in the area, the journal is also interested in the publication of manuscripts on microorganism genomics, proteomics and enzymology, as well as in those articles dealing with regional impact.

Epidemiological and etiological characterization of superficial mycoses in a general hospital in Buenos Aires
Adriana B. Tarzia, Estefania Riera Gerli, Marcela Zambrana Arebalo, María Russo, Norma B. Fernández
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:
Highlights

  • Dermatophytosis accounted for 91.3% of diagnosed mycoses.

  • The main dermatophytes were Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton tonsurans.

  • In adults, the most common presentation was tinea unguium, caused by T. rubrum.

  • In pediatrics the tinea capitis, due to T. tonsurans in children who go to barbershops.

Bloodstream infections in immunocompromised adult patients
Emanuel Ponce, Agostina Bonilla, Carolina Jimena Duffaut Anun, Florencia Yazmín García, Jacqueline Griselda Mariela Gonzalez, Pehuén Fernandez, María Isabel Garzón, Marcela Flavia Medeot, ... Emanuel José Saad
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:
Highlights

  • Hospital-acquired BSI were linked to multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms.

  • Community cases were more often driven by Escherichia coli, from urinary source.

  • Risk factors for MDR: prolonged hospital stay, prior antibiotic use, surgery.

  • 30-Days mortality was higher among patients with recent COVID-19 infection.

  • These highlight the need for protocols for immunosuppressed patients at risk of BSI.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: A review on the detection of metastatic infections
Gülsüm Uzug, Mehtap Aydın
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:
Highlights

  • We think that metastatic infections are more common than thought.

  • In particular, evaluation by an infectious diseases physician increases detection.

  • Spinal infection, SSTI and endocarditis are the most common involvements.

  • Persistent and community-acquired bacteremia are the most important risk factors.

  • Advanced age and persistent bacteremia are associated with mortality.

María Ines Staneloni, Viviana M. Rodríguez, Angel Colque, Corina Nemirovsky, Cecilia Ezcurra, Vanesa Reijtman, Natalia Andrea Carrion, Emilio Felipe Huaier Arriazu, ... Yanina Nuccetelli
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:
Highlights

  • DSP is a key tool supporting ASP & IPC, helping reduce AMR.

  • DSPs must be closely integrated with ASPs for success.

  • Optimization of pre-analytical diagnostics for key samples in limited-resource settings.

Diversity and antibiotic resistance profiles of bacteria isolated from the oral cavity of captive snakes
Stephany Young-Yusty, Alexa Prescilla-Ledezma, Hildaura Acosta-de Patiño
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:
Highlights

  • Captive Viperidae snakes harbor diverse oral bacteria with significant antibiotic resistance.

  • M. morganii and P. rettgeri dominate oral microbiota of four venomous snake species.

  • ESBL-producing bacteria identified in snake oral cavities raise clinical concerns.

  • Porthidium lansbergii showed highest bacterial diversity among studied snake species.
