First detection of the bla OXA - 23 gene in a multidrug - resistant A. baumannii clinical isolate from Cochabamba, Bolivia
(Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016-11)... -
Flexible multiplex PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus OC43 and influenza A virus in nasopharyngeal swab samples
(Wiley, 2022-12)Introduction Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is the leading tool to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given that it will almost certainly continue to coexist with other ... -
Focal accumulation of aromaticity at the CDRH3 loop mitigates 4E10 polyreactivity without altering its HIV neutralization profile
(Cell Press, 2021-09-24)Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 are frequently associated with the presence of autoreactivity/polyreactivity, a property that can limit their use as therapeutic agents. The bnAb 4E10, targeting the ... -
Foodborne and waterborne Arcobacter species exhibit a high virulent activity in Caco-2
(Elsevier, 2024-04)Infection mechanisms of Arcobacter remain uncertain. This study aimed to determine whether 65 food and waterborne isolates of at least six species were able to adhere and invade Caco-2 cells; and whether this ability could ... -
Fungal Allergen and Mold Allergy Diagnosis: Role and Relevance of Alternaria alternata Alt a 1 Protein Family
(MDPI, 2022-03-09)Alternaria is a genus of worldwide fungi found in different habitats such as soil, the atmosphere, plants or indoor environments. Alternaria species are saprobic—largely involved in the decomposition of organic material—but ... -
Fungal Diversity and Composition of the Continental Solar Saltern in Añana Salt Valley (Spain)
(MDPI, 2021-12-14)The Añana Salt Valley in Spain is an active continental solar saltern formed 220 million years ago. To date, no fungal genomic studies of continental salterns have been published, although DNA metabarcoding has recently ... -
Fungi Sensitization in Spain: Importance of the Alternaria alternata Species and Its Major Allergen Alt a 1 in the Allergenicity
(MDPI, 2021-08-03)Prevalence of allergy to fungi is around 3–10%. The most prevalent species involved in sensitizations are Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum. Our main objective was ... -
Genetic characterization and biofilm formation of potentially pathogenic foodborne Arcobacter isolates
(Elsevier, 2022-07-16)Various species of the genus Arcobacter are regarded as emerging food pathogens and can be cause of human gastroenteric illness, among others. In order to gain knowledge on the risk associated with the presence of arcobacters ... -
