Prevalencia de cepas cagA-positivo en la región de Coquimbo, determinada mediante nested-qPCR en muestras fecales

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (5), 2018
Background: Helicobacter pylori is the most significant pathogen associated with gastric diseases, including gastric cancer. Infected patients with strains that are CagA-positive generally have worse outcomes than those infected with CagA-negative strains. Patients infected with CagA-positive strains hav...

Genes qnr en Enterobacteriaceae aisladas en un hospital de Venezuela

Rev. chil. infectol; 35 (2), 2018
Resumen Introducción: La resistencia de enterobacterias a quinolonas se ha difundido por el mundo, fenómeno presente también en Venezuela. El mecanismo de esta resistencia pudiera estar mediado por genes incluidos en el cromosoma bacteriano o transmitirse en el interior de plásmidos. Objetivo: Eval...

Draft genome sequence of Exiguobacterium aurantiacum strain PN47 isolate from saline ponds, known as "Salar del Huasco", located in the Altiplano in the North of Chile

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT In this report, we present a draft genome of 2,886,173 bp of an Exiguobacterium aurantiacum strain PN47 isolate from the sediment of a saline pond named "Salar del Huasco" in the Altiplano in the North of Chile. Strain PN47 encodes adaptive characteristics enabling survival in extreme environmen...

Genome sequence of Streptomyces mangrovisoli MUSC 149T isolated from intertidal sediments

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT As the largest genus in Actinobacteria family, Streptomyces species have the ability to synthesize numerous compounds of diverse structures with bioactivities. Streptomyces mangrovisoli MUSC 149T was previously isolated as a novel streptomycete from mangrove forest in east coast of Peninsular Ma...

Draft genome sequence of Chryseobacterium limigenitum SUR2T (LMG 28734T) isolated from dehydrated sludge

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The type strain SUR2 of the novel species Chryseobacterium limigenitum was isolated from a dehydrated sludge of the municipal sewage treatment plant in Dogoše near Maribor in Slovenia. The draft genome, with 60 contigs, 4,697,725 bp, 34.4% of G+C content, was obtained using the Illumina HiS...

Draft genome sequence of Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T isolated from seawater

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T (=KCTC 42708T = DSM 101732T), a halophilic marine bacterium, was isolated from seawater collected from Desaru beach, Malaysia. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of D-24T with a genome size of approximately 3.1 Mbp and G + C content of 39.93%. The genome of ...

Genome sequencing of two Bacillus anthracis strains: a virulent strain and a vaccinal strain

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Bacillus anthracis strain SPV842_15 was isolated from bovine fetus, while B. anthracis strain Brazilian vaccinal was recovered from a commercial vaccine. We report here the genome sequences of both strains. The SPV842_15 genome is composed of a single circular chromosome with a length of 5,228,6...

Yersinia pestis detection by loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with magnetic bead capture of DNA

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Y. pestis by targeting the 3a sequence on chromosome. All 11 species of the genus Yersinia were used to evaluate the specificity of LAMP and PCR, demonstrating that the primers had a high level of specificity...

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Kosakonia cowanii type strain 888-76T is a human pathogen which was originally isolated from blood as NIH group 42. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of K. cowanii 888-76T. 888-76T has 1 chromosome and 2 plasmids with a total genome size of 4,857,567 bp and C+G 56.15%. This g...

Detection of the mecA gene and identification of Staphylococcus directly from blood culture bottles by multiplex polymerase chain reaction

Braz. j. infect. dis; 22 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Staphylococcus spp. - both S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) and coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) - are relevant agents of healthcare-associated infections. Therefore, the rapid recognition of MRSA and methicillin-resistant CoNS from blood stream inf...
