Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse and emerging molecular mechanisms award polymyxins resistance to Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates from a tertiary hospital of Recife, Brazil.
Igor Vasconcelos Rocha,Natally dos Santos Silva,Carlos Alberto das Neves Andrade,Cláudia Fernanda de Lacerda Vidal,Nilma Cintra Leal,Danilo Elias Xavier +5 more
TL;DR: Diverse mechanisms of polymyxins resistance were identified among clinical Enterobacteriaceae from a tertiary hospital of Recife, Brazil, such as plasmid-mediated M CR-1 and MCR-5; IS903-interruption of mgrB and mutation in CrrAB regulatory system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Development of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Procedure for Plague Diagnostic
Mariana de Lira Nunes,Carina Lucena Mendes-Marques,Alzira Maria Paiva de Almeida,Nilma Cintra Leal +3 more
TL;DR: A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based procedure for rapid Y. pestis detection is described, which is an additional tool that may be implemented in routine plague diagnoses, especially in emergencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of duplex-PCR for identification of Aeromonas species
TL;DR: This duplex-PCR method will allow differentiation between Vibrio and Aeromonas spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of the irp2 gene among Yersinia pestis strains isolated during several plague outbreaks in northeast Brazil.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the irp2 chromosomal region should be of prime importance for the bacteria during their multiplication in the host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic methods for determination of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus spp. from health care workers
Marcelle Aquino Rabelo,Armando Monteiro Bezerra Neto,Eduardo Caetano Brandão Ferreira da Silva,Wagner Luis Mendes de Oliveira,Fábio Lopes de Melo,Ana Catarina de Souza Lopes,Nilma Cintra Leal,Maria Amélia Vieira Maciel +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated different phenotypic methods for the presumptive detection of methicillin resistance in samples of the anterior nasal cavity and hands of the health care personnel of a university hospital in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.
