Pseudomonas aeruginosa: One Health approach to deciphering hidden relationships...
de Sousa, Telma; Machado, Sandro; Caniça, Manuela; Ramos, Miguel J.N.; Santos, Daniela; Ribeiro, Miguel; Hébraud, Michel; Igrejas, GilbertoAims: Antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents a major global challenge in public and veterinary health, particularly from a One Health perspective. This study aimed to investigate antimicrobial resistance, the presence of virulence genes, and the genetic diversity of P. aeruginosa isolates from diverse sources. Methods and results: The study utilized antimicrobial susceptibility testing, g...
Whole-Genome Sequencing of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Klebsiella p...
Sabença, Carolina; Rivière, Rani; Costa, Eliana; Sousa, Sara; Caniça, Manuela; Silva, Vanessa; Igrejas, Gilberto; Torres, Carmen; Poeta, PatríciaKlebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium commonly associated with bloodstream infections (BSIs), which can lead to severe clinical outcomes, especially in immunocompromised individuals or patients with underlying health conditions. The increasing prevalence of K. pneumoniae that produces extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) poses a significant challenge for treatment and infection control, necessitat...
FortaleSer Promover o 'ageing in place' em Montalegre
Costa, ElianaObjetivos: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo perceber quais as necessidades, potencialidades e interesses da população com 65 e mais anos residente no concelho de Montalegre. A partir do diagnóstico dessas necessidades criou-se uma proposta de plano de intervenção adequado para a população. Método: Desenvolveu-se uma investigação de natureza quantitativa, tendo sido o inquérito por questionário o principal...
Evaluation of the ability to form biofilms in KPC-producing and ESBL-producing ...
Sabenca, Carolina; Costa, Eliana; Sousa, Sara; Barros, Lillian; Oliveira, Ana M.P.; Ramos, Sonia; Igrejas, Gilberto; Torres, Carmen; Poeta, PatríciaThe appearance of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), and carbapenemase (KPC) has turned into a significant public health issue. ESBL- and KPC-producing K. pneumoniae's ability to form biofilms is a significant concern as it can promote the spread of antibiotic resistance and prolong infections in healthcare facilities. A total of 45 K. pneumoniae strains were isolat...
Genomic epidemiology of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains a...
Perdigão, João; Caneiras, Cátia; Elias, Rita; Modesto, Ana; Spadar, Anton; Phelan, Jody; Campino, Susana; Clark, Taane G.; Costa, ElianaThe evolutionary epidemiology, resistome, virulome and mobilome of thirty-one multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from the northern Vila Real region of Portugal were characterized using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The genomic population structure was dominated by two main sequence types (STs): ST147 (n = 17; 54.8%) and ST15 (n = 6; 19.4%) comprising four distinct ...

Sonority and ambiance in the movies: White dog and The Mission
Magno, Maria Ignes Carlos; Costa, ElianaBased on studies of the German theorist Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, his instigating concept of Stimmung, and various layers of its meaning (climate, atmosphere, sound, moods, ambience), we intended to explore how this aesthetic category influences construction and reading of cinematographic work. Our reflections will focus on the sound dimension of the film, specifically on music or soundtrack, and how it is part of...
