1. An evaluation of false-positive rifampicin resistance on the Xpert MTB/RIF
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is one of the most significant causes of mortality and morbidity. Early diagnose is important especially in multiple drug resistant tuberculosis to avoid transmission. Traditional techniques requires at least one to three weeks for diagnosis of tuberculosis. Diagnostic delays with multiple drug resistant tuberculo

2. Infectious bronchitis in Brazilian chickens: current data and observations of field service personnel
The infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was detected for the first time in Brazil by Hipólito in 1957 in chickens sold life in the municipal market of Belo Horizonte, MG, when commercial poultry production was just starting in that country. The Massachusetts (Mass) serotype was identified. However, the clinical disease was only observed in 1975, when poultry

3. Tomographic evaluation of the small airways in the interstitial lung diseases / Avaliação tomográfica do acometimento das pequenas vias aéreas nas doenças intersticiais do pulmão
The pathogenesis of idiophatic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, is not completely understood. It is related to a type I pneumocyte injury with loss of basement membrane integrity and failure of normal re-epithelialization and re-endothelialization leading to fibroblast proliferation and extra cellular matr

4. Detection, pathogenesis, and therapy of respiratory syncytial virus infections.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major cause of serious lower respiratory disease in infancy and early childhood. The unique pathogenesis of lower respiratory illness due to RSV offers some intriguing clues to the role of the human immune system in both protection against and development of respiratory illness. More than any other virus, rapi

5. Performance Characteristics of the BDProbeTec System for Direct Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Respiratory Specimens
Strand displacement amplification (SDA) technology has been established in a fully automated system known as BDProbeTec. Target sequences of the insertion sequence IS6110 and the 16S rRNA gene are simultaneously amplified, which thus allows the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and, as an additional option, of most Mycobacterium species. Detect

6. Comparison of two automated DNA amplification systems with a manual one-tube nested PCR assay for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Eighty-four specimens of respiratory secretions culture positive for mycobacteria (70 positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 14 positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria) and 120 culture-negative specimens were evaluated by three DNA amplification techniques: a manual in-house single-tube nested PCR (nPCR) and two commercial automated assays (the Cobas A

7. Sensitive Enzyme Immunoassay with β-d-Galactosidase—Fab Conjugate for Detection of Type A Influenza Virus Antigen in Clinical Specimens
The most sensitive method for diagnosis of type A influenza virus infection is isolation of the agent in cell culture. However, detection and identification may require several days to complete. This delay in diagnosis prevents effective use of the antiviral agents available for treatment of type A influenza infection. As a rapid diagnostic method, enzyme im

8. Mitochondrial-Driven Bicarbonate Transport Supports Photosynthesis in a Marine Microalga1
The CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) of the marine eustigmatophycean microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana consists of an active HCO3− transport system and an internal carbonic anhydrase to facilitate accumulation and conversion of HCO3− to CO2 for photosynthetic fixation. Aqueous inlet mass spectrometry revealed that a portion of the CO2 generated within
