Article Synopsis
- BDV is a virus that infects warm-blooded animals and has been studied in the context of psychiatric conditions among 30 patients with mood or psychotic disorders, compared to 30 healthy controls.
- The presence of BDV p24 RNA was tested using specialized PCR techniques, revealing a higher detection rate in the patient group (33.33%) compared to controls (13.33%).
- These findings suggest that BDV may play a role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric diseases, offering new insights into their development.
A total of 95 Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from different human clinical sources were investigated for hemagglutinating activities and hemolysin (Hly) production in the presence of erythrocytes from a wide range of species. MRHA (mannose-resistant hemagglutination) activity was found in all clinical strains tested in this study. MRHA of E.

The aim of the present study was to examine the occurrence of known virulence determinants in a group of E. faecalis strains isolated from different clinical sources in Brazil.

These fimbriae mediate the aggregative pattern of adherence (AA) to epithelial cells. The genes encoding the structural subunit of each fimbria have been designated aggA and aafA, respectively.
