Characterization of Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Dogs: Reference Intervals, Biological Variation Sources, and Endogenous Interferences
PhD Thesis defense by Blanca Pérez Montero at the VISAVET Centre of the Complutense University of Madrid
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between oxidizing agents and the antioxidant forces of the body, has been associated with multiple pathologies in the canine species. Among the most commonly used biomarkers are malondialdehyde (MDA), a metabolite of lipid peroxidation, 8-hydroxy-2`-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a product of DNA oxidation, and the 2,2`-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] (ABTS) assay as an indicator of total antioxidant status (TAS). Although these biomarkers have demonstrated clinical value in dogs, the absence of established reference intervals (RIs) is not…

One Health, un enfoque necesario para mitigar el riesgo de adaptación del virus a los mamíferos
El virus de la influenza A continúa propagándose y ocasionando una elevada mortalidad en aves. Una vez constatada la transmisión del virus entre aves y mamíferos, así como a humanos, no podemos obviar la posible selección de cepas del virus con mutaciones que permitan su adaptación a los mamíferos y su propagación eficiente y a gran escala entre los humanos. La constante evolución de este virus a nivel mundial y las m…

Evolutionary Dynamics of Integron Resistance Cassettes. A Deeper Look into the Integron Model
PhD Thesis defense by Alberto Hipólito Carrillo de Albornoz at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major global health concerns of the 21st century. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics, among other factors, has led to an exponential increase in antimicrobial- resistant bacteria in recent decades. It is estimated that every year between 1.5 and 5 million people die due to infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. These data highlight the need to take urgent measures to tackle this threat, with a priority on understanding the forces that govern the success of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
The exceptional ability of bacteria to evolve and ad…

Active surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in companion animals: A pilot study in a Spanish Veterinary Teaching Hospital
Investigation article published in Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
The role of small animal veterinary hospitals in the onset and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant organisms (AMROs) is still not clear, and the implementation of an internal surveillance systems is a cost-effective tool to better understand their impact. The aim of this study was to describe a pilot program of active surveillance in a Spanish Veterinary Teaching Hospital, developed to estimate the detection frequency of AMROs in the commensal flora of patients and in the environment. Surveillance was focused on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MRS), third generation cephalosporins re…
