Do genetic analyses place most Spanish isolates of Beauveria bassiana in a molecular group with word-wide distribution?
Most Spanish B. bassiana isolates (77.2%) are grouped into a major phylogenetic subgroup with word-wide distribution. However, high phylogenetic diversity was also detected among Spanish isolates from close geographic zones with low climatic variation. In general, no correlation was observed between the molecular distribution and geographic origin or climatic characteristics where the Spanish B. bassiana isolates were sampled.
We propose that components of reperfusion injury involve ET-1 release which stimulates calcium overload and apoptosis. Intravenous ET-1 receptor blockade prior to reperfusion may be a protective adjunct to reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction patients.
