Evidence of ESBL plasmid transfer and selective persistence of multiple host-associated Escherichia coli isolates in a chicken cecal fermentation model
Investigation published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The guts of animals and humans harbor diverse microbial communities that are regularly exposed to bacteria originating from food, water, and their surroundings. Species such as Escherichia coli are adept at colonizing multiple hosts, along with surviving in the environment. By encoding pathogenic traits and transmissible forms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), E. coli can also pose a zoonotic risk. Our understanding of the factors that govern host residency is limited. Here, we used a chicken cecal fermentation model to study survival and the AMR transfer potential of 17 host-associated exten…

Retrospective analysis of the clinical approach practiced in dog bite cases caused by Vipera latastei, Vipera seoanei and Vipera aspis
Investigation article published in The Veterinary Journal
Snakebites pose a significant public health risk to both humans and animals in many countries. In Spain, the presence of three viper species, Vipera latastei, Vipera seoanei, and Vipera aspis, complicates clinical management in veterinary settings. There is currently no standardized veterinary protocol for treating viper bites in many countries. This retrospective study analyzed the clinical approaches employed by Spanish veterinary centers in treating canine viper bites within the distribution range of these species. Data from 62 clinical cases across 58 veterinary centers were reviewed, incl…

Wild boar trade and African swine fever risk of introduction into new territories: A quantitative release assessment with retrospective data of wild boar shipments to France and Spain (2010–2017)
Investigation published in One Health
Wild boar (WB) (Sus scrofa) farming and trade in EU countries consistently developed at the end of the last century, primarily for repopulating hunting estates within the sport hunting industry. Since the introduction of African swine fever (ASF) in the Caucasus in 2007 and its subsequent spread from Eastern to Central Europe, international WB trade increased the risk of ASF introduction into new territories. In order to prevent such events, the EU veterinary authorities decided to ban WB trade in June 2018. In our study, we documented retrospective WB trade movements to France and Spain betwe…

Epidemiology of resistance to aminoglycosides and macrolides in thermotolerant Campylobacter in livestock in Spain
PhD Thesis defense by Vicente López ChavarrÃas at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
Antimicrobial resistance is a major problem for the treatment of diseases caused by zoonotic bacteria such as thermotolerant Campylobacter (C. coli and C. jejuni). The mechanisms by which antimicrobial resistance spreads over bacterial populations, especially via horizontal gene transfer, can have broad consequences depending on the speed at which resistant phenotypes disseminate through food animal hosts, humans and the environment. Particularly relevant are genetic determinants capable of conferring resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes, making treatments more complicated when mu…

The impact of mycobacteria-induced trained immunity on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responses
Investigation article published in Frontiers in immunology
Introduction: Beyond the role of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for tuberculosis prevention, BCG has demonstrated heterologous protective effects. The global health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus led to research on whether BCG-induced trained immunity could strengthen antiviral defenses. However, studies reported quite different results on its effect against COVID-19.
Methods and results: In this study, we evaluated the impact of pre-existing trained immunity induced by a BCG-derived Mycobacterium bovis strain (dpB), in both live and inactivated forms, in combination with SARS-CoV-2 v…

Evaluación de dos antÃgenos experimentales (DST-F y P22) para el diagnóstico inmunológico de la tuberculosis en ganado bovino
New article published in Ruminews
La tuberculosis (TB) bovina es una micobacteriosis zoonósica producida por miembros del Complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis (CMTB), especialmente M. bovis y M. caprae (Valcheva et al., 2022).
La presencia de esta enfermedad en la cabaña ganadera comporta una serie de repercusiones sanitarias y económicas por lo que diversos paÃses, entre ellos España, han instaurado programas de erradicación de la TB en ganado bovino (MAPA, 2025).
Estos programas se basan eminentemente en una estrategia de diagnóstico y sacrificio, principalmente mediante el empleo de la intradermotuberculinización s…
