    • ATP Induces IL-1 β Secretion in Neisseria gonorrhoeae-Infected Human Macrophages by a Mechanism Not Related ... 
      Garciá, Killen; Escobar, Gisselle; Mendoza, Pablo; Beltran, Caroll; Pérez, Claudio; Arancibia, Sergio; Vernal Astudillo, Rolando; Rodas, Paula; Acunã-Castillo, Claudio; Escobar, Alejandro (Hindawi Limited, 2016)
      Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo) has developed multiple immune evasion mechanisms involving the innate and adaptive immune responses. Recent findings have reported that Ngo reduces the IL-1𝛽 secretion of infected human ...
    • Differential antifungal activity of human and cryptococcal melanins with structural discrepancies 
      Correa, Néstor; Covarrubias Gallardo, Cristián; Rodas, Paula I.; Hermosilla Díaz, Germán; Olate, Veronica R.; Valdes, Cristian; Meyer, Wieland; Magne, Fabien; Tapia, Cecilia V. (Frontiers Media SA, 2017)
      Melanin is a pigment found in all biological kingdoms, and plays a key role in protection against ultraviolet radiation, oxidizing agents, and ionizing radiation damage. Melanin exerts an antimicrobial activity against ...
    • Genotyping and persistence of Candida albicans from pregnant women with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis 
      Tapia Paredes, Cecilia; Hermosilla Díaz, Germán; Fortes, Paula; Alburquenque, Claudio; Bucarey, Sergio; Salinas, Hugo; Rodas, Paula I.; Díaz Jarabrán, María Cristina; Magne, Fabien (Springer Netherlands, 2017)
      To study Candida albicans genotypes using RAPD and their susceptibility to fluconazole in healthy pregnant women and in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) patients after topical treatment with clotrimazole. Methods: Vaginal ...
    • Microbiological characterisation of the colonisation by Candida sp in patients with orthodontic fixed ... 
      Tapia, Cecilia V.; Batarce, Christian; Amaro, José; Hermosilla, German; Rodas, Paula I.; Magne, Fabien (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
      Objectives: We investigated the colonisation by Candida spp in patients using orthodontic fixed appliances by characterising the isolated Candida strains and by evaluating the host oral mucosa response through the measure ...
    • Modified profile of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 production by human fallopian tube epithelial cells ... 
      Rodas, Paula I.; Pérez, Doris; Jauffret, Claudia; González, Yaquelin; Carreño, Carolina; Tapia, Cecilia; Osorio, Eduardo; Velasquez, Luis A.; Christodoulides, Myron (Oxford University Press, 2017)

    • Protective effect of inactivated blastoconidia in keratinocytes and human reconstituted epithelium against ... 
      Alburquenque, Claudio; Amaro, José; Fuentes, Marisol; Falconer, Mary A.; Moreno, Claudia; Covarrubias, Cristian; Pinto, Cristian; Rodas, Paula I.; Bucarey, Sergio A.; Hermosilla, Germán; Magne, Fabien; Tapia, Cecilia V. (Oxford University Press, 2019)
      Candida albicans is commensal yeast that colonizes skin and mucosa; however, it can become an opportunist pathogen by changing from blastoconidia (commensal form) into hypha (pathogenic form). Each form activates a different ...
    • Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi has a 4.1 kb genetic Island inserted within the sapABCDF operon that ... 
      Rodas, Paula I.; Contreras, Inés; Mora, Guido C. (2010)
      Objectives: To investigate the association between the presence of a genetic island inserted within the sapABCDF operon of Salmonella Typhi and the susceptibility to antimicrobial peptides. Methods: Genetics and bioinformatics ...
