Evaluation of a novel chromogenic medium for Candida spp. identification and comparison with CHROMagar™ Candida for the detection of Candida auris in…
2020
Abstract A shift to Candida non-albicans infections has been noted during the last years, and the emergence of multi-resistant Candida auris has complicated their management. The aim of this study was first to compare the performance of the novel chromogenic medium CHROMagar™ Candida Plus (CHROMagar, France) with CHROMagar™ Candida (Becton Dickinson, Germany) for the presumptive identification of Candida species; and then, to evaluate its utility in the detection of C. auris in surveillance samples. CHROMagar™ Candida Plus showed a good performance compared with the reference medium CHROMagar™ Candida. Sensitivity and specificity were 100% in both media for tested species at 48 h of incubat…
Le “brigand lusitanien” reconsidéré. Analyse du problème de la terre chez Appien
2015
The study of the “Lusitanian robbery” led to an important research since the late nineteenth century.Nevertheless, and despite a gradual shift in modern historiography towards a more nuanced approachto the origin of the phenomenon, the problem of land still remains a central concern of many historiansand archaeologists. From a close discussion of the main passages of Livy, Diodorus and Appian especiallyrelating to the relationship that some have sought to establish between lack and / or poverty ofthe land and development of robbery among the Lusitanians, it gives a review of the socio-economicinterpretation.
The Proceedings of the Provincial Assemblies in Hispania during the Hadrian Period
2017
El presente trabajo es una puesta al día de la información que se conserva para la época de Adriano sobre las actuaciones de las asambleas provinciales en Hispania a través de las fuentes literarias y epigráficas: las dedicaciones realizadas o permitidas por la asamblea, los individuos objeto de los homenajes, el papel de las ciudades como elemento de cohesión en los territorios provinciales, así como las consultas que la institución hizo frente al Príncipe y las tareas especiales que encargó a algunos miembros de las élites locales. This paper is an update of the data preserved in the time of Hadrian on the proceedings of the provincial assemblies in Hispania, through literary and epigraph…
Producción, comunicación, comercio y moneda en la Lusitania romana: el caso de la villa romana de Clavellinas (Torremejía, Badajoz)
2015
Las obras de la A-66 (Autovía de Extremadura) descubrieron un gran número de yacimientos arqueológicos que fueron excavados y documentados en su totalidad. La Villa Romana de Clavellinas es uno de estos ejemplos. Excavada entre junio del 2001 y enero de 2002, aportó gran número de estructuras y de restos materiales, suficientes para considerarla como un centro productivo rural romano. A su vez, también se documentaron un gran número de monedas con una cronología del siglo I d.C. al IV d.C. La catalogación de estas monedas y la valoración conjunta de todos los elementos exhumados nos permiten aproximarnos a la economía rural de la Lusitania Romana. When the A- 66 (Silver highway) was build, …
Molecular Identification of Yeasts Associated with Traditional Egyptian Dairy Products
2009
This study aimed to examine the diversity and ecology of yeasts associated with traditional Egyptian dairy products employing molecular techniques in yeast identification. A total of 120 samples of fresh and stored Domiati cheese, kariesh cheese, and "Matared" cream were collected from local markets and examined. Forty yeast isolates were cultured from these samples and identified using the restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLPs) of 5.8S-ITS rDNA region and sequencing of the domains D1 and D2 of the 26S rRNA gene. Yeasts were identified as Issatchenkia orientalis (13 isolates), Candida albicans (4 isolates), Clavispora lusitaniae (Candida lusitaniae) (9 isolates), Kodamaea ohmeri (…
Dacriocistitis por Candida Lusitaniae
2007
espanolCaso clinico: Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 60 anos con episodios recurrentes de dacriocistitis aguda derecha que no cedian con tratamiento medico ni tras una dacriocistorrinostomia con intubacion bicanalicular. Presento tambien una dacriocistitis izquierda que requirio una dacriocistorrinostomia. Se tomaron muestras intraoperatorias y en el cultivo aparecio Candida Lusitaniae como germen responsable. Tras tratamiento topico con Anfotericina B, asociado a dacriocistorrinostomia, la clinica desaparecio. Discusion: La dacriocistitis por Candida Lusitaniae es muy rara. Cabria preguntarse si Candida Lusitaniae es el germen primario o la dacriocistitis podria ser por sobreinfeccion …

Comparison of disc diffusion assay with the CLSI reference method (M27-A2) for testing in vitro posaconazole activity against common and uncommon yea…
2007
Objectives To evaluate the suitability of disc diffusion (DD) assay for testing posaconazole activity and to corroborate its activity against recently isolated yeasts by the CLSI reference microdilution M27-A2 method. Methods A total of 224 yeast isolates (7 species with 52 to 11 isolates each, and 15 species with 1 to 6 isolates) were evaluated, 125 were recent bloodstream isolates, 30 isolates from other sources and six ATCC isolates that included amphotericin B-resistant Candida albicans ATCC 200955, Candida lusitaniae (ATCC 200950, 200951, 200952 and 200953) and amphotericin B- and itraconazole-resistant Candida tropicalis ATCC 200956. MICs were determined at 24 and 48 h by following th…
The Sinemurian ammonites of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal): an example of complex endemic evolution.
2010
29 pages; International audience; This work synthesizes all of the observations since the late nineteenth century of the highly endemic Late Sinemurian (Obtusum Chronozone) ammonite faunas of the Lusitanian Basin. It is based mainly on recent abundant collections from the Penedo da Saudade section near São Pedro de Muel (Leiria, Portugal). This rich material (some eight species and four genera), collected bed by bed, allows us to propose an initial biostratigraphic, palaeobiogeographic, evolutionary and taxonomic synthesis of these mostly endemic faunas. The genus Epophioceroides n. gen. is new and three new species are identifi ed: Epophioceroides apertus n. gen. n. sp., Ptycharietites (Su…
Ecological Analysis of the Helminth Community of Microtus lusitanicus (Gerbe, 1879) (Rodentia) in Asturias (NW Spain)
2021
Simple Summary The Lusitanian pine vole is an endemic rodent of the Iberian Peninsula, which has a burrowing behaviour and prefers to live underground. It feeds on bark and roots causing severe damage to trees. In Asturias (NW Spain), this species is considered a pest causing economic losses in apple orchards, damaging the tree, and sometimes even causing its death. With the aim to shed light on the helminth community of this rodent pest species and to elucidate which intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect its helminth species, a faunistic-ecological study was carried out. For this purpose, our own collection of 710 voles from several orchards of various locations in Asturias was used. The …
