Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Tenacibaculum maritimum as a potential vaccine against fish tenacibaculosis.

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have been gained increasing attention in vaccinology due to their ability to induce strong protective humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The Gram-negative bacterium Tenacibaculum maritimum, the causative agent of marine tenacibaculosis, poses a significant challenge to the global aquaculture industry due to its difficult prophylaxis. In previous studies, we demonstrated that OMV production is a key virulence mechanism in T.

Evaluation of the Analytical Performance of a Lateral Flow Assay for the Detection of Anti- Antibodies in Human Sera-Argentina.

Coccidiomycosis is a potentially life-threatening fungal infection endemic to certain regions of Argentina. The infection is caused by spp. and is primarily diagnosed by antibody (Ab) detection.

Mycological diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis in a hospital from a nonendemic area: classical and molecular methods.

Introduction: Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. Climate change and host migration emphasize the need to optimize this infection diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate the implementation of Paracoccidioides spp.

The secretome of the fish pathogen includes soluble virulence-related proteins and outer membrane vesicles.

, the etiological agent of tenacibaculosis in marine fish, constitutively secretes extracellular products (ECPs) in which protein content has not been yet comprehensively studied. In this work, the prevalence of extracellular proteolytic and lipolytic activities related to virulence was analyzed in 64 strains belonging to the O1-O4 serotypes. The results showed the existence of a great intra-specific heterogeneity in the enzymatic capacity, particularly within serotype O4.
