Journal ArticleDOI
First Description of Ceftazidime/Avibactam Resistance in a ST13 KPC-70-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain from Portugal
Gabriella Oliveira Mendes,João F. Ramalho,Ana Bruschy-Fonseca,Luís Lito,Aida Duarte,José Melo-Cristino,Cátia Caneiras +6 more
TL;DR: The molecular characterization of the first hypervirulent CZA-resistant ST13 KPC-70-producing K. pneumoniae strain in Portugal is reported and suggests an urgent need for enhanced clinical awareness and epidemiologic surveillance.
Book ChapterDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae
TL;DR: The etiological diagnosis of infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae has been expanded by non-culture methods, including the detection of pneumococcal DNA in biological samples and the identification of C polysaccharide in urine.
Journal ArticleDOI
First report of Morganella morganii producing CTX-M-15 beta-lactamase.

Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal control and analysis of two-color genomotyping experiments using bacterial multistrain arrays.
TL;DR: A comparative study of the two control sample options with a Streptococcus pneumoniae microarray designed with three fully sequenced strains shows that for both types of control it is advantageous to analyze spots in separate sets according to their expected control channel signal.
Book ChapterDOI
An ontology and a REST API for sequence based microbial typing data
João Rafael Almeida,João Tiple,Mário Ramirez,José Melo-Cristino,Cátia Vaz,Alexandre P. Francisco,João A. Carriço +6 more
TL;DR: An ontology designed for the microbial typing field is proposed, focusing on the widely used Multi Locus Sequence Typing methodology, and a RESTful API for accessing information systems based on the proposed ontology is proposed.
