Our laboratory is interested in the environmental factors that trigger asthma in the Island. After certification by the National Allergy Bureau of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (aaaai.org\/nab) we have been reporting the daily concentration of pollen and fungal spores for the past 5 years. This is the only accredited facility working in the tropics and therefore could be pioneer in this type of studies for other tropical areas of the world. We have observed correlation between the high levels of fungal spores (red alert levels &gt;139,000 spores\/m3 and an increase in the utilization of medical services (emergency room visits and hospitalizations) due to asthma. The season of allergic rhinitis and asthma is during the rainy months of September through November. On this season the high dew point, relative humidity, and rain promote the liberation of the fungal spores.<\/p>\n<p>Diagnosis of allergic conditions due to fungi<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Molecular epidemiology of MRSA isolates from PR hospitals<\/li>\n<li>Molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in multidrug resistant gram-negative bacilli<\/li>\n<li>Characterization of plasmids harboring KPC beta-lactamase gene and its genetic background in selected isolates of\u00a0<em>Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa\u00a0<\/em>and<em>\u00a0Acinetobacter baumannii<\/em>\u00a0collected from PR Hospitals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Purification of Ganoderma applanatum extracts of for the diagnosis of allergies.<\/p>\n<p>The Ganoderma applanatum produces trillion of spores every day and therefore is a basidiomycete that is always detected in the air of San Juan. The skin test reactivity to crude extracts of G. applanatum was similar to the sensitivity to mites in a group of 33 patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis. This reactivity was significantly higher than of commercially available fungi. We will be purifying the crude extract of G. applanatum by isoelectric focusing and test the purified fractions for IgE reactivity using Western blots.<\/p>\n<p>This assay will be tested as new immunodiagnostic tool for detection of allergies in PR and eventually in the immunotherapy of the patients sensitized to G. applanatum.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-917169d2ca6f99286\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-917169d2ca6f99286 uvc-3264  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-917169d2ca6f99286 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:30px;\">PUBLICATIONS<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-917169d2ca6f99286 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><strong>ARTICLES IN PUBMED (www.pubmed.com\u00a0)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Draft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing Acinetobacter baumannii Sequence Type 2 Isolate from Puerto Rico.
