Usefulness of rapid urease test samples for molecular analysis of clarithromycin resistance in Helicobacter pylori

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (4), 2018
Helicobacter pylori is a gastric pathogen that is widely recognized as a causative agent of gastric disease. Its eradication is variable, mainly due to increased resistance to clarithromycin. Our objective was: to evaluate (i) if the biopsy specimen used for the rapid urease test is a useful sample to de...

Insulin favors acute inflammatory reaction in alloxan-diabetic tilapia during infectious aerocystitis

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (12), 2018
In vertebrates, the inflammatory reaction is responsible for modulating the initial nonspecific defense until specific immunity is acquired. In this context, numerous studies in mammals have demonstrated the participation of insulin in the inflammatory response, favoring cell proliferation and the migrat...
