Draft genome sequence of alcohol-tolerant bacteria Pediococcus acidilactici strain K3

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (1), 2017
Abstract Pediococcus acidilactici strain K3 is an alcohol-tolerant lactic acid bacterium isolated from nuruk, which is a traditional Korean fermentation starter for makgeolli brewing. Draft genome of this strain was approximately 1,991,399 bp (G+C content, 42.1%) with 1525 protein-coding sequences (CDS),...

Genomic information on multidrug-resistant livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 isolated from a Brazilian patient with cystic fibrosis

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (1), 2017
Alarmingly, the isolation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been increasing among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). During a previous molecular characterisation of MRSA isolates obtained from patients with CF from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one isolate was identified as the ST398 c...

Photosynthesis at the far-red region of the spectrum in Acaryochloris marina

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
Acaryochloris marina is an oxygenic cyanobacterium that utilizes far-red light for photosynthesis. It has an expanded genome, which helps in its adaptability to the environment, where it can survive on low energy photons. Its major light absorbing pigment is chlorophyll d and it has α-carotene as a majo...

Differential roles for pathogenicity islands SPI-13 and SPI-8 in the interaction of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhi with murine and human macrophages

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-13 is conserved in many serovars of S. enterica, including S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium and S. Gallinarum. However, it is absent in typhoid serovars such as S. Typhi and Paratyphi A, which carry SPI-8 at the same genomic location. Because the interactio...

Microbioma humano y microbioma oral. Una revisión

Rev. cient. odontol; 4 (2), 2016
EL microbioma humano es definido como el genoma colectivo de una población compuesta por bacterias, hongos, virus y protozoos que residen en los diferentes nichos ecológicos del cuerpo humano. El microbioma contribuye a mantener las funciones metabólica, proteger el cuerpo contra los patógenos, es es...

Bacterial diversity of symptomatic primary endodontic infection by clonal analysis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the bacterial diversity of 10 root canals with acute apical abscess using clonal analysis. Samples were collected from 10 patients and submitted to bacterial DNA isolation, 16S rRNA gene amplification, cloning, and sequencing. A bacterial genomic library was ...

Biología molecular en infectología, parte I: desarrollo y metodologías
Molecular biology in infectious diseases, part I: development and methodologies

Rev. chil. infectol; 19 (1), 2002
El origen de la biología molecular se puede rastrear hasta fines del siglo XIX; sin embargo, el descubrimiento de la estructura del ADN se considera como el inicio de esta disciplina. Los avances producidos por la biología molecular en la década del 60 nos permiten contar hoy con herramientas para el ...
