    • E Test: a novel technique for antimicrobial susceptibility testing 

      Sader, Helio Silva [UNIFESP]; Pignatari, Antonio Carlos Campos [UNIFESP] (Associação Paulista de Medicina - APM, 1994-12-01)
      We describe the applicability of the E test (AB Biodisk Solna, Sweden), a new method for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobial agents against bacteria. This report is based on the literature review ...

    • Evaluation of the in vitro activity of daptomycin against 19615 clinical isolates of Gram-positive cocci collected in North American hospitals (2002-2005) 

      Pfaller, Michael A.; Sader, Helio S.; Jones, Ronald N. (Elsevier B.V., 2007-04-01)
      We evaluated the antimicrobial activity of daptomycin against 19 615 clinical strains consecutively collected by numerous centers located across the United States and Canada (2002-2005). Daptomycin was very active against ...

    • The HIV aspartyl protease inhibitor ritonavir impairs planktonic growth, biofilm formation and proteolytic activity in Trichosporon spp 

      Cordeiro, Rossana de Aguiar; Serpa, Rosana; Leite Mendes, Patricia Bruna; de Jesus Evangelista, Antonio Jose; Colares Andrade, Ana Raquel; Franco, Jonatas da Silva; Pereira, Vandbergue dos Santos; de Alencar, Lucas Pereira; de Oliveira, Jonathas Sales; de Camargo, Zoilo Pires [UNIFESP]; de Lima Neto, Reginaldo Goncalves; Collares Maia Castelo-Branco, Debora de Souza; Nogueira Brilhante, Raimunda Samia; Gadelha Rocha, Marcos Fabio; Costa Sidrim, Jose Julio (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
      This study evaluated the effect of the protease inhibitor ritonavir (RIT) on Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin. Susceptibility to RIT was assessed by the broth microdilution assay and the effect of RIT on protease ...

    • Immunity and hypersensitivity to gp43 antigen in susceptible and resistant mice infected with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis 

      Godoy, L. C.; Mariano, M.; Lopes, J. D. (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2003-10-01)
      Pathogenic mechanisms underlying paracoccidioidomycosis are still poorly understood. A well-established murine model of resistance (mouse lineage A/Sn) and susceptibility (lineage B10.A) to P brasiliensis pulmonary infection ...

    • Impact of thymidylate synthase promoter and DNA repair gene polymorphisms on susceptibility to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia 

      Canalle, Renata; Silveira, Vanessa S.; Scrideli, Carlos Alberto; Queiroz, Rosane G. P.; Lopes, Luiz Fernando; Tone, Luiz Gonzaga (Informa Healthcare, 2011-06-01)
