    • Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR is a useful tool for typing Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium abscessus isolates 

      Sampaio, JLM; Viana-Niero, C.; De Freitas, D.; Hofling-Lima, A. L.; Leao, S. C. (Elsevier B.V., 2006-06-01)
      Outbreaks of rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM) infections are increasingly being reported worldwide. Information about genetic relatedness of isolates obtained during outbreaks can provide Opportunities for prompt ...

    • Epidemic of surgical-site infections by a single clone of rapidly growing mycobacteria in Brazil 

      Leao, Sylvia Cardoso [UNIFESP]; Viana-Niero, Cristina; Matsumoto, Cristianne Kayoko; Batista Lima, Karla Valeria; Lopes, Maria Luiza; Palaci, Moises; Hadad, David Jamil; Vinhas, Solange; Duarte, Rafael Silva; Silva Lourenco, Maria Cristina; Kipnis, Andre; das Neves, Zilah Candida; Alcantara Gabardo, Betina Mendez; Ribeiro, Marta Osorio; Baethgen, Ludmila; Assis, Denise Brandao de; Madalosso, Geraldine; Chimara, Erica; Dalcolmo, Margareth Pretti (Future Medicine Ltd, 2010-06-01)
      Aim: Our aim is to investigate if the clusters of postsurgical mycobacterial infections, reported between 2004 and 2008 in seven geographically distant states in Brazil, were caused by a single mycobacterial strain. Materials ...

    • Evaluation of the prevalence and risk factors for colonization by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus among patients on dialysis 

      Barbosa, D.; Lima, L.; Silbert, S.; Sader, H.; Cendoroglo, M.; Draibe, S.; Camargo, L.; Vianna, L.; Belasco, A.; Sesso, R. (Elsevier B.V., 2004-08-01)
      Background Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) has been reported among long-term dialysis patients, although risk factors for VRE colonization are not well defined. This study alms to appraise the prevalence and risk ...

    • Improving typeability of multiple bacterial species using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and thiourea 

      Silbert, S.; Boyken, L.; Hollis, R. J.; Pfaller, M. A. (Elsevier B.V., 2003-12-01)
      Although pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is considered the gold standard technique for molecular typing, typeability may not be excellent for some bacterial species because of DNA degradation. Previous reports suggest ...

    • Transposable elements and two other molecular markers as typing tools for the genus Paracoccidioides 

      Alves, Fernanda Lourenco; Ribeiro, Mariceli Araujo; Hahn, Rosane Christine; Teixeira, Marcus de Melo; Camargo, Zoilo Pires de [UNIFESP]; Cisalpino, Patricia Silva; Marini, Marjorie Mendes [UNIFESP] (Oxford Univ Press, 2015-02-01)
      Studies comparing Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii have shown that these fungi have significant genomic differences that may have implications in the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment ...

    • Trypanosoma cruzi genome project: biological characteristics and molecular typing of clone CL Brener 

      Zingales, B.; Pereira, MES; Oliveira, R. P.; Almeida, K. A.; Umezawa, E. S.; Souto, R. P.; Vargas, N.; Cano, M. I.; daSilveira, J. F.; Nehme, N. S.; Morel, C. M.; Brener, Z.; Macedo, A. (Elsevier B.V., 1997-11-01)
      Clone CL Brener is the reference organism used in the Trypanosoma cruzi Genome Project. CL Brener was obtained by cloning procedures from bloodstream trypomastigotes isolated from mice infected with the CL strain. the ...

    • Typing of Enterococcus faecium by polymerase chain reaction and pulsed field gel electrophoresis 

      Bedendo, Joao [UNIFESP]; Pignatari, Antonio Carlos Campos [UNIFESP] (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2000-11-01)
      Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with JB1 or REP consensus oligonucleotides and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were used to study genomic DNA extracted from 31 strains of enterococci. Eleven ATCC strains, representative ...
