Bessa de Carvalho, I; Conceição, S; Guimarães, H; Queiroga, Maria Cristina; Laranjo, M; Bettencourt, E; Lopes, J; Branco, SBackground Endometritis is a common cause of infertility in mares, and the presence of uterine inflammation can be determined by cytology or biopsy. Microbiological analyses and testing the sensitivity to antibiotics are important to maximise the therapy efficacy. Objective Our aim was to examine the relationship between the presence of inflammation and microbial growth, including its association to the presenc...
Antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens in pork sausages – A review
Conceição, S; Queiroga, Maria Cristina; Laranjo, MIn Europe, there is a high consumption of meat products like sausages, especially in the Mediterranean countries. Studies into this type of product are therefore increasing, to improve food safety. In this area, the most recent focus has been on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by food-borne bacteria. To this end, the Antimicrobial Stewardship strategy was developed in 2007, so that better results can be achieved...
Identification and antimicrobial resistance profile of bacteria isolated from the
Conceição, S; Bessa de Carvalho, I; Guimarães, H; Queiroga, Maria Cristina; Laranjo, M; Bettencourt, EThe main cause of infertility in mares is endometritis, characterized by acute or chronic inflammation of the endometrium. One of the main causes of the occurrence of inflammation in the endometrium is the response to bacterial infection. When the infection overcomes the defense capacity of the host it leads to the development of bacterial endometritis, often caused by Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus, a...
