Diversidad genética de Mycobacterium tuberculosis circulando en la jurisdicción V de Jalapa, Veracruz, México

Rev. chil. infectol; 38 (5), 2021
ANTECEDENTES: El estado de Veracruz se ubica en el sureste de México y presenta una alta prevalencia de tuberculosis (TBC) y drogo resistencia. Sin embargo, la composición de los genotipos circulantes es poco conocida. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar la diversidad genética de la TBC en la jurisdicción sanitar...

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Brazil before the whole genome sequencing era: a literature review

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 116 (), 2021
Molecular-typing can help in unraveling epidemiological scenarios and improvement for disease control strategies. A literature review of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in Brazil through genotyping on 56 studies published from 1996-2019 was performed. The clustering rate for mycobacterial intersp...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in patients with suspected tuberculosis and the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium in the extreme south of Brazil

J. bras. pneumol; 46 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are widely distributed in nature and associated with opportunistic infections in humans. The aims of this study were to identify NTM in patients with suspected tuberculosis who presented positive cultures an...

Comparación de tres técnicas para subtipificación molecular de Listeria monocytogenes
Comparison of three molecular subtyping techniques for Listeria monocytogenes

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (4), 2019
Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen. The recent alert for L. monocytogenes in vegetables from Argentina warns about the importance of reinforcing its isolation, characterization and subtyping in food, clinical and environmental samples. The aim of the present study was to compare the ...

Invasive non-type b haemophilus influenzae disease: report of eight cases

ASTRACT Objective: To describe eight cases of invasive non-type b Haemophilus influenzae disease in children admitted to Hospital de Clínicas of Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Cases description: In 2015, there were eight cases of invasive non-type b H. influenzae disease. We tested the ampicilli...

High rate of detection of OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter from two general hospitals in Brazil

Abstract INTRODUCTION In recent decades, the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter isolates has increased, and the production of oxacillinase (OXA)-type carbapenemases is the main mechanism underlying resistance. We evaluated OXA production from 114 Acinetobacter isolates collected between M...

Isolation and partial characterization of a new moderate thermophilic Albidovulum sp. SLM16 with transaminase activity from Deception Island, Antarctica

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: A moderately thermophilic, slightly halophilic, aerobic, Gram-stain negative, bacterial strain, SLM16, was isolated from a mixed of seawater-sand-sediment sample collected from a coastal fumarole located in Whalers Bay, Deception Island, Antarctica. The aim was to screen for thermophilic micr...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes and drug-resistant characterization from Beira compared to genotypes circulating in Mozambique

Abstract INTRODUCTION Mozambique is one of three countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB), TB/human immunodeficiency virus coinfection, and multidrug-resistant TB. We aimed to describe Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes circulating among drug resistant (DR) strains from Beira, Mozambiqu...

Mycobacterium genus and tRNA arrays

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
The presence of tRNA array, a region with high tRNA gene number and density, has been demonstrated in Mycobacterium genus. However, a recent phylogenomic study revealed the existence of five distinct monophyletic groups (genera) within this genus. Considering this new scenario, and based on in-silico ana...
