RESUMO
Streptococcus anginosus is a pathogen implicated in urogenital and gastroinstestinal tract infections. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. anginosus BVI, isolated from a bacterial vaginosis patient attending a prenatal care unit in Cali, Colombia. The genome sequence of BVI consists of 2,014,025 bp, encoding 2,008 predicted proteins.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To assess age- and sex-specific percentile baseline data for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in Colombian children and adolescents aged 10 to 17 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted on 1,773 children and adolescents. Each participant underwent a fasting measurement to quantify TC, HDL-C, and TG levels using enzymatic-colorimetric methods. Smoothed age- and sex-specific 5(th), 25(th), 50(th), 75(th), 90(th) and 95(th) percentile values where derived using LMS regression (Least Mean Square) using the statistical package Growth Analyzer. RESULTS: Overall, males had lower serum TC and TG levels as compared to females. P95 of TG and TC was higher in males aged 10 to 14 years as compared to females, while HDL-C levels were similar in both sexes. CONCLUSIONS: Percentile values will help classify children and adolescents as compared to other populations based on this health indicator.
