Objectives: The efflux pump QepA confers decreased susceptibility to hydrophilic fluoroquinolones (e.g., norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin). In this study, we characterized the third variant, named qepA3, collected from an Escherichia coli isolate in Portugal. Methods: INSRA6015 was isolated in 2005 from the urine of a 77-year-old female patient hospitalized at the Hospital Fernando Fonseca, Portugal...

O potencial biotecnológico dos microrganismos extremófilos tem vindo a merecer uma atenção cada vez maior da comunidade científica internacional. Onde antes este organismos eram vistos como meras curiosidades, começam agora a ser considerados soluções viáveis para os problemas económicos e/ou ecológicos de diversos processos industriais, não só devido aos seus metabolismos muito extremos, mas devido às próprias...
