Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi infection by PCR in Canis lupus familiaris and their ectoparasites in Chile.

Chronic Chagas disease affects humans and animals, involving rural and urban inhabitants. Dogs participate in the maintenance and transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of T.

Oxidation of Isodrimeninol with PCC Yields Drimane Derivatives with Activity against Yeast by Inhibition of Lanosterol 14-Alpha Demethylase.

species cause an opportunistic yeast infection called Candidiasis, which is responsible for more than 50,000 deaths every year around the world. Effective treatments against candidiasis caused by non-albicans species such as and are limited due to severe resistance to conventional antifungal drugs. Natural drimane sesquiterpenoids have shown promising antifungal properties against yeast and have emerged as valuable candidates for developing new candidiasis therapies.

Dissemination of multiple carbapenem-resistant clones of Acinetobacter baumannii in the Eastern District of Saudi Arabia.

It has previously been shown that carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are frequently detected in Saudi Arabia. The present study aimed to identify the epidemiology and distribution of antibiotic resistance determinants in these bacteria. A total of 83 A.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strain from Chile.

Acinetobacter baumannii strain Ab5 was isolated in the year 2007 in Chile, being one of the first multidrug-resistant (MDR) cases reported in the country. Here, we present the very first draft genome sequence of an MDR Chilean strain, which shows the presence of diverse resistance and acquired virulence genes.
