Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Paiva, Manoel de Araújo Neto; Sampaio, Célia M.S.; Teixeira, Carlos Eduardo CordeiroIn the present study, it was sought to compare yeast microbiota of wild and captive Macrobrachium amazonicum and evaluate the antifungal susceptibility and production of virulence factors by the recovered isolates of Candida spp. Additionally, cultivation water was monitored for the presence of fungi. Overall, 26 yeast isolates belonging to three genera and seven species were obtained, out of which 24 were Cand...
PCR-REA as an important tool for the identification of Cryptococcus neoformans ...
Cordeiro, Rossana Aguiar; Costa, Ana Karoline Freire; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Lima, Rita Amanda Chaves deThe extraordinary ability of Cryptococcus species to cause disease has focused the attention of scientists on finding ways to improve their identification methods. In this study, PCR- REA, manual methods (morphological and biochemical characteristics), API 20C and VITEK 2 were used to test identify a total of 30 Cryptococcus spp. from human and veterinary sources. PCR-REA was performed using the capsular region...
