Genetic correlates of clarithromycin susceptibility among isolates of the Mycobacterium abscessus group and the potential clinical applicability of a PCR-based analysis of erm(41)
(2018-04-01)
Objectives: To define the genetic basis of clarithromycin resistance among isolates of the Mycobacterium abscessus group (MAG). Methods: We analysed 133 isolates identified as MAG. Species identification was confirmed by ...
High frequency of the exoU+/exoS+ genotype associated with multidrug-resistant "high-risk clones" of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Peruvian hospitals
(Springer Nature, 2019)
The type III secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important virulence factor contributing to the cytotoxicity and the invasion process of this microorganism. The current study aimed to determine the presence ...
Microbiological characteristics of clinical isolates of Cryptococcus spp. in Bahia, Brazil: molecular types and antifungal susceptibilities
(2012)
To determine the profiles of susceptibility to antifungal and the genotypes of clinical isolates of Cryptococcus in Bahia, Brazil, 62 isolates were collected from cases of meningitis in the period from 2006 to 2010. Their ...
Candida species biofilm and Candida albicans ALS3 polymorphisms in clinical isolates
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2014-12-01)
Over the last decades, there have been important changes in the epidemiology of Candida infections. In recent years, Candida species have emerged as important causes of invasive infections mainly among immunocompromised ...
Isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism: Current therapeutic challenges
(2020-11-30)
The advent of computed tomography pulmonary angiography allowed better visualization of peripheral vessels, thereby increasing rates of subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE), but there are minimal changes in mortality. ...
Photodynamic inactivation of clinical isolates of Candida using Photodithazine
(2013-09-20)
This study evaluated the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) mediated by Photodithazine® (PDZ) against 15 clinical isolates of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis. Each isolate, in planktonic and biofilm ...
Molecular Identification of Nocardia Isolates from Clinical Samples and an Overview of Human Nocardiosis in Brazil
(Public Library Science, 2013-12-01)
BackgroundNocardia sp. causes a variety of clinical presentations. The incidence of nocardiosis varies geographically according to several factors, such as the prevalence of HIV infections, transplants, neoplastic and ...
Putative virulence factors of extra-intestinal Escherichia coli isolated from bovine mastitis with different clinical scores
(2019-05-01)
We investigated the genes kpsMTII, iucD, sfaDE, afaBC, papA and papC, (proposed to be involved in extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli—ExPEC), phylogroup classification and the in vitro swimming and swarming motility ...
Correlation between susceptibility of primary HIV-1 isolates to autologous and heterologous neutralizing antibodies
(Rapid Science Publishers | Lippincott-Raven Publishers, 2019)
Interplay between MexAB-OprM and MexEF-OprN in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer Nature, 2018)
MexAB-OprM and MexEF-OprN are Pseudomonas aeruginosa efflux pumps involved in the development of antibiotic resistance. Several studies developed with laboratory strains or using a few clinical isolates have reported that ...
