Journal ArticleDOI
Bioprospecting of Amazon soil fungi with the potential for pigment production
Jessyca dos Reis Celestino,Loretta Ennes de Carvalho,Maria da Paz Lima,Alita Moura de Lima,Mauricio Morishi Ogusku,João Vicente Braga de Souza +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Amazonian fungi bioprospecting is a viable means to search for new sources of natural dyes, and the influence of nutrients on sclerotiorin yield was also studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dhêmerson Souza de Lima,Mauricio Morishi Ogusku,Maisa Porto dos Santos,Claudia Silva,Vanessa Alves de Almeida,Irineide Assumpção Antunes,Antonio Luiz Boechat,Rajendranath Ramasawmy,Aya Sadahiro +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the HLA-DRB1*04 alleles to identify subtypes associated with pulmonary TB and their interaction with risk factors such as alcohol, smoking, and gender in 316 pulmonary TB patients and 306 healthy individuals from the Brazilian Amazon shows that HLA’s are associated with tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterisation of the causative agents of Cryptococcosis in patients of a tertiary healthcare facility in the state of Amazonas‐Brazil
Ana Karla Lima Freire,Amaury dos Santos Bentes,Ivanete de Lima Sampaio,Ani Beatriz Jackisch Matsuura,Mauricio Morishi Ogusku,Julia Ignez Salem,Bodo Wanke,João Vicente Braga de Souza +7 more
TL;DR: This study revealed the prevalence of the VNI molecular group and provides the first reported observation of theVNII molecular group in the northern region of Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Análise de diferentes primers utilizados na PCR visando ao diagnóstico da tuberculose no Estado do Amazonas
TL;DR: The protocol for processing the clinical samples prior to PCR analysis and the specific primers used to amplify the 123bp IS6110 fragment showed a greater efficiency in diagnosing pulmonary (paucibacillary) tuberculosis in comparison to published data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammasome genetics contributes to the development and control of active pulmonary tuberculosis.
TL;DR: The data evidence the novel association between polymorphisms in NLRP3-inflammasome encoding genes and active pulmonary TB, and replicated the association between P2X7 and TB observed in other populations.
