Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of group B streptococcal isolates in southern Brazil.
One-hundred sixty-eight group B streptococcal (GBS) isolates from a Brazilian hospital were phenotypically and genotypically characterized. Isolates were recovered from human sources from April 2006 to May 2008 and classified as either invasive, noninvasive, or colonizing isolates. Classical methods for serotyping and antibiotic resistance profiling were employed. Clonal groups were also define...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Bifidobacterium Isolates from Healthy Adult Koreans
A total of twenty-two strict anaerobic and Gram-positive Bifidobacteria, identified as B. adolescentis, B.pseudocatenulatum, or B. longum, were isolated from healthy adult Koreans. We here investigated the cellmorphology, antimicrobial resistance patterns to novel antibiotics and genotypic differentiation ofBifidobacteria assessing repetitive DNA element PCR (rep-PCR) fingerpr...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Animal-Source Salmonella Heidelberg Isolates
Salmonella enterica serotype Heidelberg (S. Heidelberg) is frequently implicated in human foodborne Salmonella infections and often produces more severe clinical disease than other serotypes. Livestock and poultry products represent a potential risk for transmission to humans. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 49 S. Heidelberg veterinary isolates for exponential growth rate (EGR), PFGE ...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis Isolates
In order to study the epidemiology of Salmonella Enteritidis outbreaks and determine the source of contamination so that a recurrence can be avoided, detailed characterization is necessary. Thus, the purpose of this study was to verify whether rep-PCR was able to discriminate among Salmonella Enteritidis isolates. Phage typing, detection of virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance testing w...
متن کاملInvasive bacterial disease trends and characterization of group B streptococcal isolates among young infants in southern Mozambique, 2001–2015
BACKGROUND Maternal group B streptococcal (GBS) vaccines under development hold promise to prevent GBS disease in young infants. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest estimated disease burden, although data on incidence and circulating strains are limited. We described invasive bacterial disease (IBD) trends among infants <90 days in rural Mozambique during 2001-2015, with a focus on GBS epidemiol...
