      Leptospira typing is carried out using isolated strains. Because of difficulties in obtaining them, direct identification of infective Leptospira in clinical samples is a high priority.Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) ...
    • Mycobacterium bovis ESAT-6, CFP-10 and EspC antigens show high conservation among field isolates 

      Encinas, Micaela; Marfil, Maria Jimena; Garbaccio, Sergio Gabriel; Barandiaran, Soledad; Huertas, Pablo Sebastian; Morsella, Claudia Graciela; Macias, Analía; Magnano, Gabriel; Zapata, L.; Bigi, Fabiana; Cataldi, Angel Adrian; Paolicchi, Fernando; Zumarraga, Martin Jose; Eirin, Maria Emilia (Elsevier, 2018-07)
      ESAT-6, CFP-10 and EspC are virulence factors that have been extensively assayed for bovine and human tuberculosis diagnosis due their potent T-cell inducing activities. While polymorphisms of ESAT-6 and CFP-10 were analyzed, ...
