Nowadays, the use of sulfur dioxide (SO2) during winemaking process is a controversial societal issue. In order to reduce its use, various alternatives are emerging, in particular bioprotection by adding yeasts, with different impacts on yeast microbiota early stages. this study, quantitative-PCR and metabarcoding high-throughput sequencing (HTS) were combined MALDI-TOF-MS monitor population dy...

We used an in-house saponin-based extraction method to evaluate the performance of the Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) system for the identification of bacteria and fungi in 405 positively flagged blood culture bottles. Results obtained from MALDI-TOF/MS were compared with those obtained using conventional phenotypic id...

Many bacterial pathogens promote infection and cause disease by directly injecting into host cells proteins that manipulate eukaryotic cellular processes. Identification of these translocated proteins is essential to understanding pathogenesis. Yet, their identification remains limited. This, in part, is due to their general sequence uniqueness, which confounds homology-based identification by ...

AIM The increasing recovery rates of unusual yeasts with innate drug resistance make accurate identification crucial for successful therapy and infection control measures. The current study was undertaken to study the utility of CHROMagar Candida (CC) and evaluate an identification algorithm, using germ tube test (GT), CC and a commercial identification kit, API ID 32C. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Th...

background and objective: seborrheic dermatitis (sd) is a frequent disorder of the skin that is distinguished by the development of erythematous patches and yellow-gray scales. it is a multifactor disease that requires predisposing factors for its progress. presence of these factors leads to reproduction of opportunistic yeast malassezia spp.the aim of the present study was to isolate and ident...

Intracellular life of Helicobacter pylori inside Candida yeast vacuole describes the establishment of H. pylori in yeast as a pre-adaptation to life in human epithelial cells. IgY-Hp conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has been previously used for identification and localization of H. pylori inside the yeast vacuole. Here we examined whether FITC-IgY-Hp internalization into yeast ...

Precise identification of microorganisms involved in candidiasis together with antifungal susceptibility evaluation could help clinicians to prescribe appropriate medicine, especially in patients with critical conditions. The present study has been conducted to evaluate discriminatory power of Integral System Yeast Plus (ISYP) for rapid identification and determination of antifungal susceptibil...
