Escherichia coli ST131 is an important cause of multidrug-resistant infections. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the concomitant presence of resistance plasmids and pathogenicity islands… (More)
Prenatal diagnosis in a pregnancy at risk for a juvenile B1 variant of GM2-gangliosidosis was carried out. The biochemical study of the cultured amniocytes and the affected fetal brain is reported.… (More)
This study aimed to characterize the relationship between pathogenicity islands (PAIs), single virulence genes and resistance among uropathogenic Escherichia coli, evaluating the resistance plasmid… (More)
We describe seven patients from five different families with GM2 gangliosidosis, variant B1. To our knowledge these are the first juvenile cases reported in the literature.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the nature (clonal type and antibiotic resistance pattern) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains recovered from the largest teaching hospital in… (More)
We aim to characterise multiple ertapenem-resistant (ERT-R, n = 15) Enterobacteriaceae isolates identified as presumptive carbapenemase producers in a Portuguese hospital in a short period of time… (More)
