To develop an alternative bio-control measure for multi-drug resistant pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila, which causes motile Aeromonas septicemia in fish, novel virulent phage (AHP-1) was isolated from carp tissues. Morphological analysis by transmission electron microscopy revealed that AHP-1 belongs to Myoviridae family. AHP-1 displayed 81% of mod...

Klebsiella pneumoniae belongs to Enterobacteriaceae, which is the commonest bacterium causing nosocomial respiratory tract infection. It ranks second in bacteremia and urinary tract infection in gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the rapid and accurate identification of K. pneumoniae was of great significance for the guide of clinical medication, a...

Early and appropriated antimicrobial therapy showed to positively impact on the clinical improvement of septic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate E-test methodology to obtain rapid results of antimicrobial susceptibility, starting directly from blood culture bottles positive to Gram-negative monomicrobial flora. One hundred and five bl...

Superficial and cutaneous mycoses are common in tropical countries, caused by dermatophytes, yeast, and non-dermatophyte molds in different clinical specimens. In order to define the epidemiology of mycoses and the profile of their etiological agents in Alagoas (northeastern Brazil) between 2009 and 2016, we obtained data of patients from the main ...

Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are human intestinal pathogens of clinical importance and their mechanism of pathogenicity is widely studied. However, both EHEC and EPEC poorly infect mice, whereas they do not develop important characteristics of the disease, hindering studies about mechanisms of virulence in v...

Mangroves are dynamic and unique ecosystems that provide important ecological services to coastal areas. The phylloplane is one of the greatest microbial habitats, and most of its microorganisms are uncultivated under common laboratory conditions. Bacterial community structure of Laguncularia racemosa phylloplane, a well-adapted mangrove species wi...

Describing the bovine vaginal microbiota is essential to better understand its physiology and its impact on health maintenance. Despite the economic importance of reproduction of these animals, bovine vaginal microbial community is still poorly described in comparison with rumen microbiome. Previous studies of our group described the vaginal microb...
