Impact of genital hair removal on female skin microenvironment: barrier disruption and risk of infection, a literature review

Med. UIS; 32 (3), 2019
Abstract Genital hair is one of the secondary sexual traits that marks the beginning of puberty; its removal has been part of human culture since ancient times. This practice may lead to modifications in vaginal microbiome with potential repercussions on skin health and balance. We conducted a narrative ...

Endocarditis bacteriana por Kocuria kristinae en un paciente inmunocompetente. Reporte de caso

Infectio; 23 (4), 2019
Los miembros del género Kocuria corresponden a cocos Gram positivos ubicuos, generalmente inocuos y que hacen parte de la flora saprófita de un porcentaje importante de la población; ocasionalmente han sido descritos como los agentes responsables de patologías infecciosas, principalmente dentro del c...

Development of biodegradation process for Poly(DL-lactic acid) degradation by crude enzyme produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1

Background: Plastic waste is a serious problem because it is difficult to degrade, thereby leading to global environment problems. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, and it can be degraded by various enzymes produced by microorganisms. This st...

Poly(DL-lactide)-degrading enzyme production by immobilized Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1 in a 5-L fermenter under various fermentation processes

Background: Poly(DL-lactic acid), or PDLLA, is a biodegradable polymer that can be hydrolyzed by various types of enzymes. The protease produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1 was previously reported to have PDLLA depolymerase activity. However, few studies have reported on PDLLA-degrading e...

Draft genome analysis of Dietzia sp. 111N12-1, isolated from the South China Sea with bioremediation activity

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (3), 2017
Abstract Dietzia sp. 111N12-1, isolated from the seawater of South China Sea, shows strong petroleum hydrocarbons degradation activity. Here, we report the draft sequence of approximately 3.7-Mbp genome of this strain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome sequence of Dietzia strain isol...

A novel pH-stable, endoglucanase (JqCel5A) isolated from a salt-lake microorganism, Jonesia quinghaiensis

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (6), 2016
Background: Endoglucanase, one of three type cellulases, can randomly cleave internal p-1,4-linkages in cellulose polymers. Thus, it could be applied in agricultural and industrial processes. Results: A novel endoglucanase gene (JqCel5A) was cloned from Jonesia quinghaiensis and functionally expressed in...

Identificacao e antibiograma de actinomicetos aerobios isolados de amostras biologicas

Neste trabalho, a partir de amostras biologicas, foram realizados exames bacteriologicos para actinomicetos aerobios e, cepas mantidas em laboratorio, submetidas a processo de reidentificacao. Todos os microrganismos foram submetidos a antibiogramas, pela tecnica de difusao com discos. Cepas de Nocardia ...
