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…

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…
