TL;DR: An epidemic of infections after video-assisted surgery caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria and involving 63 hospitals in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, occurred between August 2006 and July 2007 and is the largest epidemic of postsurgical infections reported in the literature to date in Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in katG, inhA, and ahpC genes of Brazilian isoniazid-resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: The presence of mutations in specific regions of the katG, inhA, and ahpC genes was analyzed with 69 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isoniazid-resistant isolates from three Brazilian states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing of hsp65 Gene for Identification of Mycobacterium Species Isolated from Environmental and Clinical Sources in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Simone Gonçalves Senna,Jaqueline Battilana,Juliana C. Costa,Marlei Gomes da Silva,Rafael Silva Duarte,Leila de Souza Fonseca,Philip Noel Suffys,Maurício Reis Bogo +7 more
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the biodiversity of 28 clinical and 24 environmental Mycobacterium isolates from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by using hsp65 sequences, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the genetic diversity and usefulness of this marker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identificação de micobactérias não tuberculosas isoladas de sítios estéreis em pacientes em um hospital universitário na cidade do Rio de Janeiro
Simone Gonçalves Senna,Ana Grazia Marsico,Gisele Betzler de Oliveira Vieira,Luciana Fonseca Sobral,Philip Noel Suffys,Leila de Souza Fonseca +5 more
TL;DR: The combination of PRA, a relatively simple and inexpensive method, with the evaluation of a few phenotypic characteristics can allow NTM to be accurately identified in the routine of clinical laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avaliação de testes rápidos em microplacas usando indicadores de viabilidade celular para determinação da susceptibilidade de cepas de Mycobacterium tuberculosis à isoniazida e rifampicina
Marta Osório Ribeiro,Marlei da Silva Gomes,Simone Gonçalves Senna,Maria Lucia Rosa Rossetti,Leila de Souza Fonseca +4 more
TL;DR: Assays to determine minimal inhibition concentrations in liquid medium and employing oxidation-reduction indicators proved to be rapid and inexpensive and has the potential to become a faster, alternative method for determining susceptibility of M. tuberculosis strains in developing countries.
