In vivo transfer and microevolution of avian native IncA/C2blaNDM-1-carrying plasmid pRH-1238 during a broiler chicken infection study

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy publish this investigation article


The emergence and spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in wildlife and livestock animals poses an important safety concern for public health. With our in vivo broiler chicken infection study we investigated transfer and experimental microevolution of the blaNDM-1-carrying IncA/C2 plasmid (pRH-1238) introduced by avian native Salmonella (S.) Corvallis, without inducing antibiotic selection pressure. We evaluated dependency of the time point of inoculation on donor [S Corvallis (12-SA01738)] and a plasmid-free Salmonella spp. recipient [S Paratyphi B (dTa+), 13-SA01617] exc… Read more

An advection-deposition-survival model to assess the risk of introduction of vector-borne diseases through the wind: Application to bluetongue outbreaks in Spain

Investigation article published in PLoS ONE


This work develops a methodology for estimating risk of wind-borne introduction of flying insects into a country, identifying areas and periods of high risk of vector-borne diseases incursion. This risk can be characterized by the role of suitable temperatures and wind currents in small insects` survival and movements, respectively. The model predicts the number density of introduced insects over space and time based on three processes: the advection due to wind currents, the deposition on the ground and the survival due to climatic conditions. Spanish livestock has suffered many bluetongue ou… Read more

PCR-Based Analysis of ColE1 Plasmids in Clinical Isolates and Metagenomic Samples Reveals Their Importance as Gene Capture Platforms

Investigation article published in Frontiers in Microbiology


ColE1 plasmids are important vehicles for the spread of antibiotic resistance in the Enterobacteriaceae and Pasteurellaceae families of bacteria. Their monitoring is essential, as they harbor important resistant determinants in humans, animals and the environment. In this work, we have analyzed ColE1 replicons using bioinformatic and experimental approaches. First, we carried out a computational study examining the structure of different ColE1 plasmids deposited in databases. Bioinformatic analysis of these ColE1 replicons revealed a mosaic genetic structure consisting of a host-adapted conser… Read more

Comparative genomics of quinolone-resistantand susceptibleCampylobacter jejuniof oultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)

EFSA Journal publish this article


A total of 502 Campylobacter jejuniisolates from poultry in 12 different European countries(10 of them the largest poultry production countries in Europe)werewhole genome sequencedto examine the genomic diversity of fluoroquinolone resistant (FQ-R) and susceptible(FQ-S)C. jejuniacross the poultry producing European countries and to determine whether the emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance among C.jejuniis related to the transmission through countries or to the selection through fluoroquinolone use in the individual countries. A high genomic diversity was obs… Read more
