Urticaria and silent parasitism by Ascaridoidea: Component-resolved diagnosis reinforces the significance of this association
(Public Library Science, 2020-04-03)
Urticaria remains a major problem in terms of aetiology, investigation, and management, and although parasitic diseases are considered potential causes, the absence of a consistent link between parasitic infections and ...
Genotyping Study of Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- Monophasic Variant of Serovar Typhimurium and Characterization of the Second-Phase Flagellar Deletion by Whole Genome Sequencing
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)
After Salmonella Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium, S. 4,[5],12:i:- is the most reported serovar in human clinical cases. During the past 20 years, many tools have been used for its typing and second-phase flagellar deletion ...
Candida duobushaemulonii: An Old But Unreported Pathogen
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
Candidiasis caused by species of the Candida haemulonii complex (Candida haemulonii and Candida duobushaemulonii) and closely related species, Candida auris and Candida pseudohaemulonii are increasing. These species often ...
Molecular Recognition of the Native HIV-1 MPER Revealed by STED Microscopy of Single Virions
(Springer, 2019-01-08)
Antibodies against the Membrane-Proximal External Region (MPER) of the Env gp41 subunit neutralize HIV-1 with exceptional breadth and potency. Due to the lack of knowledge on the MPER native structure and accessibility, ...
Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms that internally biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles (called magnetosomes) and use them as a compass. Here it is shown that magnetotactic bacteria of the strain ...
Identification of the main allergen sensitizers in an Iran asthmatic population by molecular diagnosis
(Biomed Central, 2014-08-05)
Background: There has been a significant growth in the prevalence of allergy, mainly associated to IgE-mediated disorders such as asthma and rhinitis. The identification of atopy in asthmatic patients through the measurement ...
Design and validation of a multiplex PCR protocol for microsatellite typing of Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates
(Biomed Central, 2018-09-29)
Background: Analysis of polymorphic microsatellite markers (STR) is a helpful genotyping technique to differentiate Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates. The aim of this study is to develop and perform an initial ...
Chemosensory response of marine flagellate towards L- and D- dissolved free amino acids generated during heavy grazing on bacteria
(Spanish Society for Microbiology, 2010-09)
This study investigated the generation of dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) by the bacterivorous flagellate Rhynchomonas nasuta when feeding on abundant prey. Specifically, it examined whether this flagellate protist ...
ELISA Test for the Serological Detection of Scedosporium/Lomentospora in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-26)
The detection and diagnosis of the opportunistic fungi Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans still relies mainly on low-sensitive culture-based methods. This fact is especially worrying in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) ...
The monoclonal antibody Ca37, developed against Candida albicans alcohol dehydrogenase, inhibits the yeast in vitro and in vivo
(Nature, 2020-06-08)
Candida albicans is a commensal yeast able to cause life threatening invasive infections particularly in immunocompromised patients. Despite the availability of antifungal treatments, mortality rates are still unacceptably ...
