In the past decades, important changes in the epidemiology of fungal infections have resulted in the frequent isolation of yeasts of the genus Candida. Yeasts of the Candida parapsilosis species complex, for example, have been pointed out as infectious agents and components of the microbiota of animals. Thus, the work aimed at identifying molecularly the strains of the C. parapsilosis species complex recovered ...
There is growing interest in breeding rheas (Rhea americana) in Brazil. However, there are no data on the yeast microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of this avian species, and the phenotypic characteristics of these yeasts are not known. Therefore, the aim of this work was to isolate Candida species from the digestive tract of rheas and to evaluate the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and secretion of pho...
This study aimed at investigating the in vitro activities of amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline, ceftazidime, imipenem, and trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole against Burkholderia pseudomallei in planktonic and biofilm forms, through broth microdilution and resazurin-based viability staining, respectively. In planktonic growth, the strains were susceptible to the drugs, while in biofilm growth, significantly high...
