Diabetes em tempos de pandemia: o impacto da COVID-19 em diferentes USF do país
Antunes Pinheiro, Adriana; Antunes, Patrícia; Martins, Lígia; Correlo, Carla; Arantes Pinheiro, Adriana; Antunes, Patrícia; Garcia Moreira, InêsIntrodução: A diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma doença crónica associada a uma significativa morbimortalidade, sendo o seu controlo multifatorial. A evidência é ainda escassa e contraditória na aferição do impacto que a pandemia possa ter tido no controlo glicémico dos doentes com esta patologia. Este estudo teve como objetivo medir as variações dos valores de hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) em doentes com DM durante a ...
Insights towards the impact of subinhibitory chlorhexidine on antimicrobial sus...
Pereira, P; Almeida Santos, C; Duarte, B; Antunes, Patrícia; Peixe, L; Freitas, R; Novais, CarlaEnterococcus faecium, a human and animal commensal broadly distributed in the environment, is currently one of the most challenging multidrug-resistant (MDR) healthcare-associated pathogens worldwide. It is often exposed to chlorhexidine (CHX), a broad-spectrum antiseptic, extensively used in healthcare, domestic, and food production settings, and a diffused polluter. However, the impact of gradients of CHX con...

Gil-Serna, J; Antunes, Patrícia; Campoy, S; Cid, A; Cobo-Molinos, A; Durao, P; Fajardo, C; Fouz, B; Freitas, AR; Grosso, F; de Groot, PWJ; de Miguel, TAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global threat to human, animal and environmental health. Among the multidisciplinary tasks aimed at collectively tackling the AMR crisis, surveillance, research and education stand as major priorities. Based on a crowdsourcing research strategy, the MicroMundo project, a partner of the Tiny Earth initiative in Spain and Portugal, has been developed and consolidated with su...

Ribeiro-Almeida, M; Mourao, J; Rodrigues, IC; de Carvalho, AP; da Costa, PM; Peixe, L; Antunes, PatríciaColistin, a last-resort antibiotic in human medicine, has been banned in European food animal production to mitigate antimicrobial resistance. This study investigates the long-term effects of the colistin ban on the occurrence and genomic features (WGS) of colistin-resistant, mcr-carrying Escherichia coli across intensive rabbit farms (8 farms, similar to 600 animals/farm, fecal and farm environmental samples) ...
Decoding Klebsiella pneumoniae in poultry chain: Unveiling genetic landscape, a...
Mourão, Joana; Magalhães, Mafalda; Ribeiro-Almeida, Marisa; Rebelo, Andreia; Novais, Carla; Peixe, Luísa; Novais, Ângela; Antunes, PatríciaThe rise of antibiotic resistance in the food chain is influenced by the use of antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics, metals, and biocides, throughout the entire farm-to-fork continuum. Besides, non-clinical reservoirs potentially contribute to the transmission of critical pathogens such as multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, limited knowledge exists about the population structure and...
