Aeromonas spp. isoladas no Ceará -Brasil: detecção genotípica de fatores de vir...
Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloAeromonas sp p., frequently found in aquatic environments, are important human pathogens. This study had the main objectives of isolating clinical and environmental strains of Aeromonas spp and investigating the presence of virulence genes, antimicrobial susceptibilit y in vitro and resistance mechanism . Clinical and environmental samples were identified by biochemical tests and the automated Vitek2® (bioMerié...
Histoplasmose disseminada em pacientes com AIDS no estado do Ceará: aspectos ep...
Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloHistoplasma capsulatum is the etiologic agent of histoplasmosis, an endemic mycosis in the Americas, common in individuals with HIV / AIDS. In the past years, in addition to studies aiming at analyzing the clinical and laboratory patterns of histoplasmosis, some researches have sought to characterize this fungus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of disseminated histoplasmo...
Biofilms of Candida spp. from the ocular conjunctiva of horses with reduced azo...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Bittencourt, Paula Vago; Castelo-Branco, Debora de Souza Collares; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloObjectives This study aimed to assess the biofilm-forming ability of Candida spp. from the ocular conjunctiva of horses and to investigate the antifungal susceptibility of these biofilms. Procedures Initially, the biofilm-forming ability of 15 strains was assessed by crystal violet staining, which reveals the fungal biomass adhered to the polystyrene plates, and scanning electron microscopy. Then, the minimum i...
Aeromonas and Plesiomonas species from scarlet ibis ( Eudocimus ruber ) and the...
Castelo-Branco, Débora Souza Collares Maia; Silva, Aline Lobão da; Monteiro, Frederico Ozanan Barros; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloThe present study aimed at evaluating the role of captive scarlet ibises (Eudocimus ruber) and their environment as reservoirs of Aeromonas spp. and Plesiomonas spp., and analyzing the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence of the recovered bacterial isolates. Thus, non-lactose and weak-lactose fermenting, oxidase positive Gram-negative bacilli were recovered from cloacal samples (n = 30) of scarle...
Antiretroviral drugs saquinavir and ritonavir reduce inhibitory concentration v...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Caetano, Érica Pacheco; Riello, Giovanna Barbosa Riello; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloRecent studies have shown that some drugs that are not routinely used to treat fungalinfections have antifungal activity, such as protease inhibitor antiretroviral drugs. This studyinvestigated the in vitro susceptibility of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum to saquinavirand ritonavir, and its combination with the antifungal itraconazole. The susceptibility assaywas performed according to Clinical and Labo...
Enterobacteria and Vibrio from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming in Fortal...
Castelo-Branco, D ebora de Souza Collares Maia; Sales, Jamille Alencar; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloObjective: To investigate the isolation of enterobacteria associated with Macrobrachium amazonicum (M. amazonicum) farming and evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio strains. Methods: Strains were isolated from female M. amazonicum prawns and environmental and hatchery water. Biochemical assays were used to identify bacterial genera and those belonging to the genus Vibrio were submitted to...
Vibrio spp. from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming are inhibited by Moring...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Sales, Jamille Alencar; Sampaio, Celia Maria de Souza; Barbosa, Francisco Geraldo; Paiva, Manoel de Araújo NetoObjective To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of extracts of stem, leaves, flowers, pods and seeds of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) against Vibrio spp. from hatchery water and the prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum. Methods The ethanol extracts of stem, leaves, pods and seeds and chloroform extract of flowers of M. oleifera were tested against Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) serogroups non-O1/non-O13...
