Immunological mechanisms involved in the protection against development of pulmonary tuberculosis in naturally infected goats

Investigation article published in Veterinary Microbiology


Tuberculosis (TB) is a notifiable zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) that affects a multitude of domestic and wild species. The main lesions caused by these mycobacteria are tuberculous granulomas, which determine the organism`s immune response to the disease. Although TB pathogenesis in cattle has been extensively studied, information regarding its progression in other species of interest for the maintenance and transmission of TB such as goats remains limited. This study aimed to characterise the immune response developed in the lungs of goat… Read more

Escherichia coli from six European countries reveals differences in profile and distribution of critical antimicrobial resistance determinants within One Health compartments, 2013 to 2020

Eurosurveillance publish this investigation article


BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat. Monitoring using an integrated One Health approach is essential to detect changes in AMR occurrence.AimWe aimed to detect AMR genes in pathogenic and commensal Escherichia coli collected 2013-2020 within monitoring programmes and research from food animals, food (fresh retail raw meat) and humans in six European countries, to compare vertical and horizontal transmission.MethodsWe whole genome sequenced (WGS) 3,745 E. coli isolates, detected AMR genes using ResFinder and performed phylogenetic analysis to determine isolate relatedness… Read more

DISCONTOOLS chapter on bovine tuberculosis

New online article published in Discontools


This Disease and Product Analysis (DPA) is policy neutral; we have adhered to the natural science evidence base. Disease: Mammalian tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic bacterial disease of animals, including humans, caused by host-adapted members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex (MTBC). Regarding livestock and wildlife hosts, we refer mostly to infection with M. bovis and other animal-adapted variants, such as M. caprae. World Organisation of Animal Health (WOAH 2022, founded as OIE), EU Bovine TB Task Force subgroup and recently the EU Animal Health law (Regulation 2016/429) support this m… Read more

Oxidative Stress in Canine Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

Investigation published in Antioxidants


Oxidative stress (OS), defined as a disruption in redox balance favoring oxidants, has emerged as a major contributor to numerous diseases in human and veterinary medicine. While several reviews have explored the implication of OS in human pathology, an exhaustive review of the canine species is lacking. This comprehensive review aims to summarize the existing literature on the role of OS in canine diseases, highlighting its potentially detrimental effect on various organs and systems. Some inconsistencies among studies exist, likely due to varying biomarkers and sample types. However, there i… Read more

Promoting university education in low-income countries by artificial intelligence-based translation

Conference in XVII Congreso Internacional de Educación, Investigación e Innovación


El uso de las tecnologías aplicadas a la educación, y la implantación de modalidades de enseñanza online, cada vez más habituales desde la pandemia de la covid19, supone una gran oportunidad para la formación de estudiantes en universidades de países de renta baja, como Madagascar, un país donde el uso de internet no está muy extendido, aunque sí en tendencia creciente, y donde el gasto en educación supuso el 3,14% del PIB en 2022, por debajo de la media de gasto de los países de África subsahariana (5% del PIB). En esta experiencia, impulsada por la UCM y la UCLM (en España) y la U. Antananar… Read more

NpmC, a novel A1408 16S rRNA methyltransferase in the gut of humans and animals

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents publish this investigation article


16S rRNA methyltransferases that act on residue A1408, NpmA and NpmB, confer high-level resistance to virtually all the aminoglycosides, but their reports are scarce. Analysing metagenomic projects in a One Health context, we identified in human and animal gut microbiomes from China and Canada a novel gene, npmC, that shares an identity of 91.5% with npmA, and up to 92.7% at amino acidic level. The protein encoded by this gene presents the conserved motifs required for A1408 methylation. Expression of the gene resulted in high-level of resistance to 4,5-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS)… Read more

Evaluating the ability of non-tuberculous mycobacteria to induce non-specific reactions in bovine tuberculosis diagnostic tests in guinea pigs and cattle

Investigation published in Veterinary Microbiology


Limitations in diagnostic test performance are one of the major challenges hampering the eradication of bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are considered one of the main causes of non-specific reactions in the intradermal tuberculin test, the most widely used bTB diagnostic test. To determine the role of NTMs in bTB misdiagnosis in Spain, an experimental study including the NTM species most commonly found in bTB-positive animals from bTB-free farms in the country (M. avium subsp. avium (Maa), "Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis" (Mah), M. bourgelatii, M. intermed… Read more

Multiplex PCR assay for the accurate and rapid detection and differentiation of Lactococcus garvieae and L. petauri

Investigation article published in Journal of Fish Diseases


Lactococcosis is a common bacterial fish disease caused by Lactococcus garvieae, L. petauri and L. formosensis. Although there are different PCR-based techniques to identify the etiological agent, none of these can differentiate these two bacteria without sequencing PCR-amplified fragments. In the present study, we developed a multiplex PCR assay for simultaneous detection and differentiation of L. garvieae and L. petauri. The specificity of the primers was validated against the bacterial DNA of the targeted and non-targeted bacteria. The sizes of the PCR amplicons were obtained as 204 bp for … Read more
