Use of immunoblotting assay improves the sensitivity of paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis
The purpose of this work was to evaluate two serological assays: double immunodiffusion (DI) and immunoblotting (IB) in immunodiagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM).

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Differentiation of the Dimorphic Fungal Species Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii [PDF]
Isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii, previously characterized by molecular techniques, were identified for the first time by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS ...

A suggested classification for two groups of Campylobacter myoviruses [PDF]
Most Campylobacter bacteriophages isolated to date have long contractile tails and belong to the family Myoviridae. Based on their morphology, genome size and endonuclease restriction profile, Campylobacter phages were originally divided into three ...

Comparative Genomics of 9 Novel Paenibacillus Larvae Bacteriophages [PDF]
American Foulbrood Disease, caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, is one of the most destructive diseases of the honeybee, Apis mellifera. Our group recently published the sequences of 9 new phages with the ability to infect and lyse P.

Mechanism of strand displacement synthesis by DNA replicative polymerases [PDF]
Replicative holoenzymes exhibit rapid and processive primer extension DNA synthesis, but inefficient strand displacement DNA synthesis. We investigated the bacteriophage T4 and T7 holoenzymes primer extension activity and strand displacement activity on ...

We have demonstrated that laminin mediates the adhesion of P. brasiliensis to monolayers of epithelial cells through specific binding to the surface glycoprotein gp43. This binding seems to be related to the fungal pathogenesis. We now report the confirmation of these findings by scanning electron microscopy and show that some isolates that do not ...
