Determination of investigation of the link between human and animal Brucella isolates in Iran using multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat method comprising 16 loci (MLVA-16)

Braz. j. infect. dis; 25 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Epidemiological studies are important tools to assess the diversity of Brucella isolates and to estimate their epidemiological relationship among isolates from different geographical origins. In this study the MLVA16 (multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis based on 16...

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Brazil before the whole genome sequencing era: a literature review

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 116 (), 2021
Molecular-typing can help in unraveling epidemiological scenarios and improvement for disease control strategies. A literature review of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in Brazil through genotyping on 56 studies published from 1996-2019 was performed. The clustering rate for mycobacterial intersp...

DRD4 genotyping may differentiate symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and sluggish cognitive tempo

Objective: Studies to reduce the heterogeneity of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have increased interest in the concept of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT). The aim of this study was to investigate if the prevalence of two variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs) located within the 3′-...

Evidence of in utero infection by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis using Multiple-Locus Variable-number tandem-repeat Analysis: first report in Argentina

A pregnant heifer with an advanced clinical stage of paratuberculosis was reported in a herd in Argentina. Thus, the animal was euthanized and samples of organs of the cow and its fetus was taken and cultured for bacteriology in specific medium. Tissues were analyzed by histopathology (hematoxylin-eosin ...

Identification of Brucella abortus biovar 4 of bovine origin in Colombia

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
The objective of this study was to identify twelve Brucella abortus isolates of bovine origin from the department of Nariño in Colombia up to the biovar level. These isolates are included in the collection of the Germplasm Bank of Microorganisms of Animal Health Interest -Bacteria and Virus (BGSA-BV). T...

Genotipificación de aislamientos del complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis mediante MIRU-VNTR, Cali, Colombia, 2013-2015

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (supl.1), 2019
Resumen Introducción. La tuberculosis continúa siendo uno de los problemas de salud más importantes a nivel mundial y, con la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (HIV), constituye la principal causa de muerte por infecciones. En el 2016, se notificaron 6,3 millones de casos nuevos ...

Comparative study of RFLP-IS6110 and MIRU-VNTR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract DNA genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been widely applied in the understanding of disease transmission in many countries. The purpose of this study was to genotype the strains of M. tuberculosis isolated in patients with new tuberculosis (TB) cases in Minas Gerais, as well as to compa...

Persistence of the same genetic type of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in a closed herd for at least two years

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (2), 2018
Two cross-sectional studies were carried out in 2013 and 2015 monitoring for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae presence in a swine farm. In these studies, the genetic diversity of M. hyopneumoniae was assessed in clinical specimens using a Multiple Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) targeting P97...

Analysis of genetic diversity and differentiation of sheep populations in Jordan

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (4), 2014
Background Genetic diversity of sheep in Jordan was investigated using microsatellite markers (MS). Six ovine and bovine MS located on chromosomes 2 and 6 of sheep genome were genotyped on 294 individual from ten geographical regions. Results The number of alleles per locus (A), the expected heterozygosi...
