Insertion Sequences Determine Plasmid Adaptation to New Bacterial Hosts
mBio publish this investigation article
Plasmids facilitate the vertical and horizontal spread of antimicrobial resistance genes between bacteria. The host range and adaptation of plasmids to new hosts determine their impact on the spread of resistance. In this work, we explore the mechanisms driving plasmid adaptation to novel hosts in experimental evolution. Using the small multicopy plasmid pB1000, usually found in Pasteurellaceae, we studied its adaptation to a host from a different bacterial family, Escherichia coli. We observed two different mechanisms of adaptation. One mechanism is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in t…

Evaluation of the effect of recent intradermal tuberculin test on the specific humoral-based response in milk samples from tuberculosis-free goats
Degree Final Project defended by Jaime Ricón Fernández de la Puente
Goat tuberculosis (TB) is a disease with a significant economic and health impact, subject to control and eradication programs in some areas of the Spanish territory, which employ diagnostic tests such as single or comparative intradermal tuberculin (SIT and CIT respectively) tests) and occasionally, the interferon-gamma test (IGRA). These plans are based on the detection and slaughter of positive animals; however, diagnostic tests have limitations, and new techniques have been sought to increase their specificity (Sp) and sensitivity (Se). One of these techniques is the P22 ELISA, a humoral-b…

Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Resistance Mechanisms in Mannheimia haemolytica Isolates from Sheep at Slaughter
Investigation published in Animals
Mannheimia haemolytica is a key bacterial pathogen contributing to important ruminant diseases and accounting for a large proportion of overall antimicrobial use in cattle and sheep. The recent emergence of ovine strains with reduced susceptibility to antimicrobials—which could lead to treatment failure, increased costs of livestock production, and the dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant genes to other bacteria and possibly the environment—is of concern. This study investigated the levels of antimicrobial resistance of M. haemolytica isolated from clinically healthy sheep at slaughter and…

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Studies in Pets, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases publish this investigation article
SARS-CoV-2 can infect domestic animals such as cats and dogs. The zoonotic origin of the disease requires surveillance on animals. Seroprevalence studies are useful tools for detecting previous exposure because the short period of virus shedding in animals makes detection of the virus difficult. We report on an extensive serosurvey on pets in Spain that covered 23 months. We included animals with exposure to SARS-CoV-2-infected persons, random animals, and stray animals in the study. We also evaluated epidemiologic variables such as human accumulated incidence and spatial location. We detected…

Confinamiento bovino: las vacas de Castilla y León frente al reto de erradicar la tuberculosis
Interview in A vivir que son dos días of Cadena SER
En España hay determinadas zonas con riesgo de tuberculosis en el ganado. Aunque existen estrictos controles y medidas de bioseguridad que buscan erradicar esta enfermedad, recientemente el gobierno de Castilla y León, del PP y Vox, ha decidido por su cuenta flexibilizar algunos de estas medidas y permitir, por ejemplo, una especie de libre circulación del ganado de zonas con riesgo de tuberculosis bovina. El agricultor Marcos Garcés, la ganadera Ana Corredoira y el pescador Manolo Presas conversan sobre el impacto de esta enfermedad, y cómo combatirla, con Javier Bezos, investigador del Centr…

Seroepidemiology of tuberculosis in sheep in southern Spain
Investigation published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Tuberculosis (TB) is a multi-host infectious disease caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC). In Mediterranean ecosystems, where multiple animal hosts of TB are present, identifying the role of the different species involved in the epidemiology of TB is a key point to be able to implement proper control measures. Sheep are susceptible to MTC infection but have traditionally been considered a spillover host. However, the occurrence of outbreaks involving sheep in recent years evidences the need to better understand the role of this small ruminant species in the epidemi…

Once bitten twice shy: Risk factors associated with bovine tuberculosis recurrence in Castilla y Leon, Spain
Investigation article published in Research in Veterinary Science
Persistence of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle herd remains a major challenge in disease elimination due to the ineffectual removal of all infected animals in a bTB breakdown. Characterization of herds with a higher probability of experiencing further bTB breakdowns can help to implement specific risk-based policies for disease control and eradication. Here, our aim was to identify herd- and breakdown-level risk factors in bTB infected herds in Castilla y Leon, Spain, associated with a decreased time to recurrence and an increased risk of recurrence using a mixed effects Cox proportional h…
