Whole-genome sequencing as a tool for studying the microevolution of drug-resis...
Diniz, Jaciara; von Groll, Andrea; Unis, Gisela; Dalla-Costa, Elis Regina; Rosa Rossetti, Maria Lúcia; Vianna, Júlia Silveira; Ramos, Daniela FernandesTreatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis requires extended use of more toxic and less effective drugs and may result in retreatment cases due to failure, abandonment or disease recurrence. It is therefore important to understand the evolutionary process of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We here in describe the microevolution of drug resistance in serial isolates from six previously treated patie...
Genomic-based surveillance reveals high ongoing transmission of multi-drug-resi...
Salvato, Richard Steiner; Reis, Ana Júlia; Schiefelbein, Sun Hee; Gómez, Michael Andrés Abril; Salvato, Stéphanie Steiner; Silva, Larissa Vitória daGenomic-based surveillance on the occurrence of drug resistance and its transmission dynamics has emerged as a powerful tool for the control of tuberculosis (TB). A whole-genome sequencing approach, phenotypic testing and clinical-epidemiological investigation were used to undertake a retrospective population-based study on drug-resistant (DR)-TB in Rio Grande do Sul, the largest state in Southern Brazil. The a...

Fungus ball in HIV-infected patients
Guazzelli, Luciana Silva; Unis, Gisela; Xavier, Melissa Orzechowski; Severo, Cecília Bittencourt; Picon, Pedro Dornelles; Severo, Luiz CarlosAspergillus is a phagocyte opportunistic fungus that causes aspergillosis, an unusual disease in patients with AIDS. Six cases of fungal ball in patients with AIDS are reported here. In this group, all patients had hemoptysis and tuberculosis as the underlying lung disease. The diagnosis of pulmonary fungus ball was based on the clinical and radiographic feature, combined with serological and mycological eviden...
