Analysis of bacterial communities and characterization of antimicrobial strains from cave microbiota

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract In this study for the first-time microbial communities in the caves located in the mountain range of Hindu Kush were evaluated. The samples were analyzed using culture-independent (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) and culture-dependent methods. The amplicon sequencing results revealed a broad ...

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...

Patrón EPIYA en cepas de Helicobacter pylori CagA positivas en pacientes del Hospital Regional de Talca

Rev. méd. Maule; 33 (1), 2017
BACKGROUND: The clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been related to the presence of CagA protein. This protein is highly polymorphic and its oncogenic ability depends on the number and type of tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the EPIYAs repeat sequences (A, B, C and D). AIM...

Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant beta-lactamase OXA-357-producing Acinetobacter pittii ST865 clinical isolate from China

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Worldwide increasing emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has rendered the limited availability of effective antimicrobial agents and has become a major public health concern. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of A. pittii TCM156, a multidrug-resistant isolate th...

Draft genome sequence of a GES-5-producing Serratia marcescens isolated in southern Brazil

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative rod intrinsically resistant to polymyxins and usually associated with wound, respiratory and urinary tract infections. The whole genome of the first GES-5-producing S. marcescens isolated from a Brazilian patient was sequenced using Ion Torrent PGM System. ...

Phenol degradation and genotypic analysis of dioxygenase genes in bacteria isolated from sediments

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract The aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria is performed by dioxygenases. To show some characteristic patterns of the dioxygenase genotype and its degradation specificities, twenty-nine gram-negative bacterial cultures were obtained from sediment contaminated with phenolic compound...

Draft genome sequence of phenol degrading Acinetobacter sp. Strain V2, isolated from oil contaminated soil

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract We report here the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter sp. Strain V2 isolated from the oil contaminated soil collected from ENGEN, Amanzimtoti, South Africa. Degradation of phenolic compounds such as phenol, toluene, aniline etc. at 400 ppm in 24 h and oil degrading capability makes this orga...

Genome sequencing of four strains of Phylotype I, II and IV of Ralstonia solanacearum that cause potato bacterial wilt in India

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Ralstonia solanacearum is a heterogeneous species complex causing bacterial wilts in more than 450 plant species distributed in 54 families. The complexity of the genome and the wide diversity existing within the species has led to the concept of R. solanacearum species complex (RsSC). Here we r...

Draft genome sequence of a caprolactam degrader bacterium: Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain SJ9

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain SJ9 is a caprolactam degrader, isolated from industrial wastewater in South Korea and considered to have the potential for caprolactam bioremediation. The genome of this strain is approximately 6.2 Mb (G + C content, 61.75%) with 6,010 protein-coding sequences (CDS...
