Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19 was first described in Wuhan December 2019 and has now spread globally. Ecuador second country South America to report confirmed cases. The case reported Quito, capital city Ecuador, a tourist who came from Netherlands presented symptoms on March 10th, 2020 (index case). In this work we used MinION platform (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) sequence metagenome bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) reported, subsequently sequenced whole genome index...
Purpose: Discharge or follow up of confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases depend on accurate interpretation RT-PCR. Currently, positive/negative interpretations are based amplification instead quantification cycle threshold (Ct) values, which could be used as proxies patient infectiousness. Here, we measured Ct values in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at different times and its implications diagnosis up. Patients Methods: Observational study between March 17th-May 12th, 2020...
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. In Ecuador, the first case of COVID-19 was recorded 29 February Despite efforts to control its spread, SARS-CoV-2 overran Ecuadorian public health system, which became one most affected in Latin America 24 April Hospital General del Sur de Quito (HGSQ) had transition from general specific center short period time fulfill demand patients with respiratory afflictions. Here, we...
Recent evidence suggests that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium has the ability to cause deadly infections in hospitalized patients, could originate patient's own flora. We employed Oxford Nanopore platform obtain whole genome sequences (WGS) from clinical and rectal screen P. aeruginosa strains belonging 15 patients two hospitals. Our study found isolates were clonal, with some suggesting infecting strain was present intestine at time of admission, ruling out hospital acquisition. The use...
Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and malaria are major parasitic diseases disproportionately affecting the underprivileged population in developing nations. Finding new, alternative anti-parasitic compounds to treat these is crucial because of limited number options currently available, side effects they cause, need for long treatment courses, emergence drug-resistant parasites. Anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) derived from amphibian skin secretions small bioactive molecules capable lysing cell...
