Virulotyping of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhi Isolates from Pakistan: Absence of Complete SPI-10 in Vi Negative Isolates
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-30)
The pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the cause of typhoid fever in humans, is mainly attributed to the acquisition of horizontally acquired DNA elements. Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPIs) ...

(2018-12-05)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen causing serious hospital-acquired infections and it has been recently positioned as a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization. It has been described ...
Exploring new frontiers in host-microbiome interactions using zebrafish
(2018-05-04)
El pez cebra es un modelo animal muy utilizado en los últimos años por sus homologías con los humanos. En esta tesis se proponen nuevos usos de este. Se ha querido investigar si el pez cebra tanto en fase larvaria como ...
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 ...
Study of the effect of candida albicans recombinant proteins and derived monoclonal antibodies on protumoral processes and as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
(2018-10-04)
Candida albicans is a human commensal yeast that can sometimes cause life-threatening infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. The high mortality rates associated with this fungus make necessary the study of ...
