Diversidade de bioaerossóis presentes em ambientes urbanizados e preservados de...
Pantoja, Lydia Dayanne Maia; Couto, Manuela Soares; Paixão, Germana CostaThe bioaerosols are particles of biological origin suspended in the air, having as important constituents the airborne fungi. The knowledge of the airborne mycota in a certain site is determinative for ecological diagnosis, measuring of air contamination and allergy treatments. This study was carried out to establish the mycota and verify possible impacts of seasonal differences on fungal community. For this, i...

Couto, Manuela SoaresMelioidosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, considered emerging in Brazil since the first cases were reported in 2003, on State of Ceará. This study aimed to perform the molecular identification of 31 isolates of B. pseudomallei (26 clinical and 5 environmental) maintained in the culture collection of CEMM (Specialized Center for Medical Mycology), based on sequ...
