Analysing nonsynonymous mutations between two Mycobacterium bovis strains with contrasting pathogenic profiles
(Elsevier, 2019-12)Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease that can affect cattle, other domesticated species, wild animals and humans. This disease produces important economic ... -
Association between spoligotype-VNTR types and virulence of Mycobacterium bovis in cattle
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01)Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a disease that affects approximately 5% of Argentine cattle. The aim of this research was to study if it is possible to infer the degree of virulence of ... -
Campylobacter fetus releases S-layered and immunoreactive outer membrane vesicles = Campylobacter fetus secreta vesículas de membrana externa inmunorreactivas que conservan la capa S
(Elsevier, 2021-08)The study of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) became relevant because of their probable important role in the transfer of virulence factors to host cells. Campylobacter fetus is mainly a mammal pathogen whose virulence ... -
Clostridium perfringens type E virulence traits involved in gut colonization
(PLOS, 2015-03-23)Clostridium perfringens type E disease in ruminants has been characterized by hemorrhagic enteritis or sudden death. Although type E isolates are defined by the production of alpha and iota toxin, little is known about the ... -
Differences in the virulence of two strains of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype A with the same spatiotemporal distribution
(Elsevier, 2010-01)During the 2000–2001 epidemic of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) in Argentina, two FMDV serotype A viruses were identified among others. Since different pathogenic properties between these virus strains were noticed ... -
Evaluation of a virulent strain of Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis used as a heat-killed vaccine
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Bovine paratuberculosis is one of the most important chronic infectious diseases in livestock. This disease is difficult to control because of its inefficient management (test and cull strategy and inadequate biosecurity). ... -
FasR regulates fatty acid biosynthesis and is essential for virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world’s leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition ... -
Genomic comparison of two strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with contrasting pathogenic phenotype
(Elsevier, 2023-01)In a previous study, we evaluated the degree of virulence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) strains isolated from cattle in Argentina in a murine model. This assay allowed us to differentiate between ... -
La genómica de las micobacterias
(Office International des Epizooties, 2016)Las especies Mycobacterium bovis y Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis son los agentes causales de la tuberculosis y la paratuberculosis en animales, respectivamente. Además, ambas micobacterias, pero fundamentalmente ... -
In vitro and in vivo characterization of a typical and a high pathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus type ii strains
(Frontiers Media, 2018-04)Non-cytopathic (ncp) type 2 bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV-2) is widely prevalent in Argentina causing high mortality rates in cattle herds. In this study, we characterized an Argentinean ncp BVDV-2 field isolate (98-124) ... -
Protection efficacy of Argentinian isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with different genotypes and virulence in a murine model
(Elsevier, 2018-12)Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). The disease causes economic losses and, therefore, it is imperative to follow proper control strategies, which should include ... -
Role of PhoPR in the response to stress of Mycobacterium bovis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)PhoP is part of the two-component PhoPR system that regulates the expression of virulence genes of Mycobacteria. The goal of this work was to elucidate the role of PhoP in the mechanism that Mycobacterium bovis, the causative ... -
Rv2577 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a virulence factor with dual phosphatase and phosphodiesterase functions
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Tuberculosis, a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the ten leading causes of death worldwide affecting mainly developing countries. Mtb can persist and survive inside infected cells through ... -
Rv2617c and P36 are virulence factors of pathogenic mycobacteria involved in resistance to oxidative stress
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-12)In this study, we characterized the role of Rv2617c in the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rv2617c is a protein of unknown function unique to M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium leprae. In vitro, this ... -
Selection of Bacillus thuringiensis strains toxic to cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis, Coleoptera: Curculionidae) larvae = Selección de cepas de Bacillus thuringiensis tóxicas para larvas del picudo del algodonero (Anthonomus grandis, Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2017-09)Preliminary bioassays with whole cultures (WC) of 124 Bacillus thuringiensis strains were performed with neonate larvae of Anthonomus grandis, a major cotton pest in Argentina and other regions of the Americas. Three exotic ... -
Type VI secretion system in pathogenic escherichia coli: structure, role in virulence, and acquisition
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08)Bacterial pathogens utilize a myriad of mechanisms to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and evade the immune system. One essential strategy of Gram-negative bacteria is the secretion of virulence factors through ... -
