Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of potentially virulent non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strains isolated from human patients
F.A.M.O. Cariri,Ana Paula Rocha da Costa,C.C. Melo,Grace Nazareth Diogo Theophilo,Ernesto Hofer,O.P. de Melo Neto,Nilma Cintra Leal +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of the O1-specific wbeN gene was investigated through PCR and found to be restricted to strain 17155, as well as one of O26 strains, 4756, although neither strain was recognized by O1specific antisera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for the Detection of Listeria monocytogenes and Major Pathogenic Serotypes
Ana Paula Rocha da Costa,Mariana de Lira Nunes,Carina Lucena Mendes-Marques,Alzira Maria Paiva de Almeida,Nilma Cintra Leal +4 more
TL;DR: The approach constitutes a fast, easy and low-cost alternative for L. monocytogenes diagnosis and serotyping and may be useful for surveillance and epidemiological investigation programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The aquatic environment as a reservoir of Vibrio cholerae O1 in hydrographic basins of the state of Pernambuco, Brazil
Carina Lucena Mendes-Marques,Vladimir da Mota Silveira Filho,Ana Paula Rocha da Costa,Mariana de Lira Nunes,Sandoval Vieira da Silva Filho,Ângela Cristina Torres de Araújo Figueirôa,Ernesto Hofer,Alzira Maria Paiva de Almeida,Nilma Cintra Leal +8 more
TL;DR: Close genetic similarity was observed between them (2012) and environmental strains from 2004 to 2005, indicating the permanence of endemic V. cholerae O1 in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical and molecular characteristics of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from a prosthetic mitral heart valve-bearing patient´s blood cultures
Nilma Cintra Leal,Ana Paula Rocha da Costa,Marinalda Anselmo Vilela,Carina Lucena Mendes-Marques,Alzira Maria Paiva de Almeida +4 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of L. monocytogenes infection should be considered in endocarditis differential diagnoses, especially among high-risk groups, due to its high pathogenicity and the environmental ubiquity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An in silico molecular modeling approach of halolactone derivatives as potential inhibitors for human immunodeficiency virus type-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme
TL;DR: The results showed that the proposed models can be used to design promising HIV-1 RT inhibitors, and it was found that Leu100, Val106, Tyr181, Try188, and Trp229 are key residues for stabilization in the enzymatic site.
