Reprogramming of gene expression in Escherichia coli cultured on pyruvate versus glucose
(Springer, 2019-07-30)
Previous studies revealed important roles of small RNAs (sRNAs) in regulation of bacterial metabolism, stress responses and virulence. However, only a minor fraction of sRNAs is well characterized with respect to the spectra ...
Clinical factors associated with a Candida albicans Germ Tube Antibody positive test in Intensive Care Unit patients
(BioMed Central, 2011-03)
Background: Poor outcomes of invasive candidiasis (IC) are associated with the difficulty in establishing the microbiological diagnosis at an early stage. New scores and laboratory tests have been developed in order to ...
Composition and conservation of the mRNA-degrading machinery in bacteria
(BioMed Central, 2011)
RNA synthesis and decay counteract each other and therefore inversely regulate gene expression in pro- and eukaryotic cells by controlling the steady-state level of individual transcripts. Genetic and biochemical data ...
Prokaryotic Capability to Use Organic Substrates Across the Global Tropical and Subtropical Ocean
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Prokaryotes play a fundamental role in decomposing organic matter in the ocean, but little is known about how microbial metabolic capabilities vary at the global ocean scale and what are the drivers causing this variation. ...
Fungi Sensitization in Spain: Importance of the Alternaria alternata Species and Its Major Allergen Alt a 1 in the Allergenicity
(MDPI, 2021-08-03)
Prevalence of allergy to fungi is around 3–10%. The most prevalent species involved in sensitizations are Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum. Our main objective was ...
Candida parapsilosis Colony Morphotype Forecasts Biofilm Formation of Clinical Isolates
(MDPI, 2021-01-07)
Candida parapsilosis is a frequent cause of fungal bloodstream infections, especially in critically ill neonates or immunocompromised patients. Due to the formation of biofilms, the use of indwelling catheters and other ...
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) Microbiome is Not Affected by Colon Microbiota in Healthy Goats
(BioMed Central, 2021-04-14)
BACKGROUND: The knowledge about blood circulating microbiome and its functional relevance in healthy individuals remains limited. An assessment of changes in the circulating microbiome was performed by sequencing peripheral ...
El hospital como dinamizador y difusor de salud regional: la experiencia del hospital de Tacuarembó, Uruguay
(Sindicato Médico del Uruguay, 2021-03-31)
Se describe el desarrollo del Hospital Regional de Tacuarembó (HRT), situado en una ciudad mediana del norte de Uruguay, que lo condujo a convertirse en un referente dinamizador de la salud regional, con una atención médica ...
High Biofilm Formation of Non-Smooth Candida parapsilosis Correlates with Increased Incorporation of GPI-Modified Wall Adhesins
(MDPI, 2021-04-19)
Candida parapsilosis is among the most frequent causes of candidiasis. Clinical isolates of this species show large variations in colony morphotype, ranging from round and smooth to a variety of non-smooth irregular colony ...
Bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia: arrhythmogenic disease
(Sociedad Española de Quimioterapia, 2022-04)
