Caracterização molecular de estafilococos isolados de vacas com mastite subclínica e ordenhadores
(Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2012-12-01) [Artigo]
As bactérias isoladas para o estudo foram oriundas de 96 vacas (163 tetos positivos no California Mastitis Test - CMT e nove suabes de mão de ordenhadores, de nove propriedades rurais situadas no Município de Jataí, GO. ...
Prevalência e susceptibilidade de leveduras vaginais
(Jornal Brasileiro de Patologia e Medicina Laboratorial, 2004-08-01) [Artigo]
Entre as vulvovaginites, a candidíase é apontada como a causa mais freqüente em mulheres na idade fértil. Atualmente, várias pesquisas mostram aumento na freqüência das espécies não-albicans e grande preocupação com episódios ...
Molecular typing and antifungal susceptibility of clinical sequential isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans from São Paulo State, Brazil
(FEMS Yeast Research, 2007-01-01) [Artigo]
The antifungal susceptibility profiles and the genetic variability of 83 sequential clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans, including four Cryptococcus gattii isolates, obtained from 38 São Paulo AIDS patients with ...
Infection and apparent invasion of Vero cells by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(Journal of Medical and Veterinary Mycology, 1994-01-01) [Artigo]
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis probably uses many different mechanisms to establish itself in the host and cause disease. In this work, we assess an in vitro model system which uses cultured mammalian cells to investigate ...
Frequency and genetic diversity of the MAT1 locus of Histoplasma capsulatum isolates in Mexico and Brazil
(Eukaryotic Cell, 2013-07-01) [Artigo]
The MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 idiomorphs associated with the MAT1 locus of Histoplasma capsulatum were identified by PCR. A total of 28 fungal isolates, 6 isolates from human clinical samples and 22 isolates from environmental ...
Microplate alamarblue assay for paracoccidioides susceptibility testing
(Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013-04-01) [Artigo]
CLSI method M27-A3 is not available for use with dimorphic fungi, such as those of the Paracoccidioides genus. In this study, we developed a microdilution method and added the alamarBlue reagent to test the responses of ...
Isolamento e caracterização de candida albicans e outras leveduras de águas de recreação não marinha e de materiais clínicos
(Revista de Ciencias Farmaceuticas, 1995-01-01) [Artigo]
Candida albicans and other yeasts from recreational water or clinical materials were isolated. Sixty-six water samples, originating from eight swimming pools and five lakes with beaches were examined for the presence of ...
The malate synthase of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a linked surface protein that behaves as an anchorless adhesin
(BMC Microbiology, 2009-12-24) [Artigo]
Background: The pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This is a pulmonary mycosis acquired by inhalation of fungal airborne propagules that can disseminate to several ...
Interaction of pathogenic fungi with host cells: Molecular and cellular approaches
(FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology, 2005-09-01) [Artigo]
This review provides an overview of several molecular and cellular approaches that are likely to supply insights into the host-fungus interaction. Fungi present intra- and/or extracellular host-parasite interfaces, the ...
Paracoccidoides brasiliensis 30 kDa Adhesin: Identification as a 14-3-3 Protein, Cloning and Subcellular Localization in Infection Models
(PLOS ONE, 2013-04-30) [Artigo]
Paracoccidoides brasiliensis adhesion to lung epithelial cells is considered an essential event for the establishment of infection and different proteins participate in this process. One of these proteins is a 30 kDa ...
