      Farace, Pablo Daniel; Morsella, Claudia Graciela; Cravero, Silvio Lorenzo Pedro; Sioya, Bernardo Arturo; Amadio, Ariel; Paolicchi, Fernando; Gioffre, Andrea (2019-11)
      Phenotypic differences between Campylobacter fetus fetus and C. fetus venerealis subspecies allow the differential diagnosis of bovine genital campylobacteriosis. The hydrogensulfide production,for example,is atrait exclusive ...
    • Preparation of a working seed lot of BCG and quality control by PCR genotyping 

      Trovero, A.; Argüelles, Claudia; Cataldi, Angel Adrian (Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2010-04)
      The bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) was obtained in 1920 after successive passages leading to the attenuation of a Mycobacterium bovis strain. For the following 40 years, BCG had been replicated, resulting in substrains ...
    • Tuberculosis in swine co-infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis and Mycobacterium bovis in a cluster from Argentina
