In this thesis, we have focused on studying variants found in IGRs adjacent to the most important genes involved in S. aureus biofilm formation; the icaADBCR locus, and the genes encoding the family of surface adhesins. For this purpose, we sequenced the whole genome of a collection of 71 S. aureus isolates from periprosthetic joint infections (PJI...
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Surface adhesins play an important role in the primary attachment to plasma proteins that coat the surface of prosthetic devices after implantation. Previous efforts to identify a genetic component of the bacterium that confers an enhanced capacity to cause PJI have focu...
Contribution of genetic variations in the regulatory region of surface
adhesin encoding genes to colonization of prosthetic implants by Staphylococcus
aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) characterized by bacterial biofilm formation and recalcitrance to immune-mediated clearance and antibiotics. The molecular events behind PJI infection are yet to be unraveled. In this sense, identification of polymorphisms in bacterial genomes may help to establish associ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) CC398 is a livestock-associated (LA) lineage, mainly detected in swine. Its dissemination via the food-chain could be a food-safety issue. This work aimed to study the diversity of S. aureus lineages in pork-products, to determine the prevalence of MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA)...
Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs) types present in mucosa and classified as “high risk” are etiologic agents of several oncological diseases as cervical cancer, anus, penis, vulva, and oropharyngeal cancer. Currently the principal method of screening used in Colombia for detecting cervical cancer is cervical cytology, which presents a moderate coverag...
Introducción: La enfermedad de Chagas (ECh) es causada por la infección con Trypanosoma cruzi. En Latinoamérica afecta cerca de 8 a 9 millones de personas y es un problema de salud pública. Existen varias vías de transmisión del parásito como: transfusión sanguínea, congénita, vía oral y vectorial, siendo esta última la más común. Sin embargo, en l...
Prophylactic vaccines against high risk HPV has become important because of the high oncogenic potential of the virus and its association with cervical cancer development, one of the most common and fatal cancers among women worldwide. The objective of this article is describe the state of the art of the current prophylactic and therapeutic HPV vac...
