    • Consensus Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Pneumocystis jirovecii 
      Pasic, Lana; Goterris, Lidia; Guerrero Murillo, Mercedes; Irinyi, Laszlo; Kan, Alex; Ponce, Carolina A.; Vargas Munita, Sergio; Martín Gómez, M. Teresa; Meyer, Wieland (MDPI, 2020)
      Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic human pathogenic fungus causing severe pneumonia mainly in immunocompromised hosts. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) remains the gold standard for genotyping of this unculturable ...
    • Dynamic simulator and model predictive control of an integrated solar combined cycle plant 
      Ponce, Carolina; Sáez Hueichapán, Doris; Bordons, Carlos; Núñez, Alfredo (Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016)
      This paper presents the design and evaluation of a dynamic simulator for an ISCC (integrated solar combined cycle) plant. The design of the simulator is based on the phenomenological equations for both a combined cycle ...
    • Frequency of Pneumocystis jirovecii detection in Peruvian pregnant women, newborns and infants 
      Bustamante, B.; Garcia, Coralith; Bustamante, Beatriz; Neyra, Edgar; Ponce, Carolina; Calderon, Enrique; Matos, Olga; Armas, Yaxsier De; Gilles, Nevez; Vargas, Sergio (Oxford University Press, 2018-06)
    • Optimized DNA extraction and purification method for characterization of bacterial and fungal communities ... 
      Pérez Brocal, Vicente; Magne, Fabien; Ruiz Ruiz, Susana; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bustamante, Rebeca; San Martín, Viviana; Gutiérrez, Mireya; Gatti, Gianna; Vargas Munita, Sergio; Moya, Andrés (Nature, 2020)
      Human lungs harbor a scarce microbial community, requiring to develop methods to enhance the recovery of nucleic acids from bacteria and fungi, leading to a more efficient analysis of the lung tissue microbiota. Here we ...
    • Pneumocystis colonization is highly prevalent in the autopsied lungs of the general population 
      Ponce, Carolina A.; Gallo, Myriam; Bustamante, Rebeca; Vargas, Sergio L. (2010)
      Increasing reports of Pneumocystis DNA in noninvasive respiratory specimens from immunocompetent asymptomatic adults and the characteristic lung tropism of Pneumocystis suggest that asymptomatic pulmonary infections with ...
    • Pneumocystis is not a direct cause of sudden infant death syndrome 
      Vargas, Sergio L.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Gálvez, Paula; Ibarra, Carolina; Haas, Elisabeth A.; Chadwick, Amy E.; Krous, Henry F. (2007)
      We compared the frequency of Pneumocystis in 126 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases with a control group of 24 infants from the San Diego SIDS/SUDC Research Project who died of accidental or inflicted injuries. Cysts ...
    • Primary infection by Pneumocystis induces Notch-independent Clara cell mucin production in rat distal airways 
      Méndez, Andrea; Rojas, Diego A.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bustamante, Rebeca; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Toledo, Jorge; García-Angulo, Victor A.; Henriquez, Mauricio; Vargas, Sergio L. (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Clara cells are the main airway secretory cells able to regenerate epithelium in the distal airways through transdifferentiating into goblet cells, a process under negative regulation of the Notch pathway. Pneumocystis is ...
    • Seroepidemiological study of Pneumocystis jirovecii infection in healthy infants in Chile using recombinant ... 
      Djawe, Kpandja; Daly, Kieran R.; Vargas, Sergio L.; Santolaya de Pablo, María Elena; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bustamante, Rebeca; Koch, Judith; Levin, Linda; Walzer, Peter D. (2010)
      Objectives: To characterize the seroepidemiological features of Pneumocystis jirovecii infection in healthy Chilean children using overlapping fragments (A, B, C) of the P. jirovecii major surface glycoprotein (Msg). ...
