Pam2CSK4 (TLR2 agonist) induces periodontal destruction in mice

Abstract Lipoproteins are important bacterial immunostimulating molecules capable of inducing receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANKL) and osteoclast formation in vitro and in vivo . Although these molecules are present in periodontopathogenic bacteria, their role in periodontitis is not know...

Differential proteomics research of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its genome-shuffled saltant for improving fengycin production

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract In the previous study, we used genome shuffling to improve fengycin production of the original strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ES-2-4. After two rounds of genome shuffling, a high-yield recombinant FMB72 strain that exhibited 8.30-fold increase in fengycin production was obtained. In this stud...

Activador tisular del plasminógeno recombinante para el tratamiento de la vegetación intracardíaca en un lactante de muy bajo peso al nacer

Arch. argent. pediatr; 115 (5), 2017
Las nuevas opciones de tratamiento prolongan la hospitalización y aumentan las infecciones intrahospitalarias bacterianas y fúngicas, pero también mejoran la sobrevida de los recién nacidos hospitalizados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales. Las infecciones fúngicas invasivas en neonatos ...

Successful treatment of fungal endophthalmitis using intravitreal caspofungin

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Fungal endophthalmitis is a rare condition often associated with poor prognosis. We present a case of postoperative acute fungal endophthalmitis caused by the yeast-like fungus Stephanoascus ciferrii (Candida ciferrii). The fungus was resistant to fluconazole, voriconazole, and amphotericin B bu...

Lipopeptide production by Bacillus subtilis R1 and its possible applications

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract The possible application of a bacterial strain - Bacillus subtilis R1, isolated from an oil contaminated desert site in India, as biocontrol agent and its biosurfactant in microbial enhanced oil recovery are discussed. The biosurfactant production in minimal medium was carried out at different t...

Antifungal activities of tacrolimus in combination with antifungal agents against fluconazole-susceptible and fluconazole-resistant Trichosporon asahii isolates

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT The antifungal activity of tacrolimus in combination with antifungal agents against different fungal species has been previously reported. Here we report the in vitro interactions between tacrolimus and amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, and caspofungin against 30 clinical isolates of bo...

Eficacia y seguridad de la caspofungina en pediatría: revisión sistemática y metaanálisis

Arch. argent. pediatr; 114 (4), 2016
Las infecciones fúngicas invasivas son una importante causa de morbimortalidad en pediatría. La caspofungina es una equinocandina utilizada como alternativa en la prevención y/o tratamiento de ciertas infecciones fúngicas invasivas en niños, aunque con poca evidencia sobre su eficacia y seguridad en...

Characterization and properties of the biosurfactant produced by Candida lipolytica UCP 0988

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (1), 2014
Background: Biotechnological processes are costly, especially for the production of biosurfactants. The successful production of a biosurfactant is dependent on the development of processes using low cost raw materials. Considering the importance of the characteristics of a biosurfactant to facilitate it...
