Hb Nivaria: A New Hemoglobin Variant with a Shortened -Globin Chain [139(HC1)LysStop; : c.418A>T].

We report a novel hemoglobin (Hb) variant found in a Spanish individual from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Canary Islands in Spain. The proband was a 39-year-old male. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) displayed an unknown peak (19.

Identification of Clinical Isolates of with Increased Fitness in Colonization of the Murine Gut.

The commensal and opportunistic pathogen is an important cause of fungal diseases in humans, with the gastrointestinal tract being an important reservoir for its infections. The study of the mechanisms promoting the commensal state has attracted considerable attention over the last few years, and several studies have focused on the identification of the intestinal human mycobiota and the characterization of genes involved in its establishment as a commensal. In this work, we have barcoded 114 clinical isolates to identify strains with an enhanced fitness in a murine gastrointestinal commensalism model.
