Antimicrobial resistance in the food chain: bridging knowledge gaps for effecti...
Gomes, Emílio; Mesquita, Tomás Gonçalves; Serra, Patrícia; Araújo, Daniela; Almeida, Carina; Machado, António; Oliveira, Ricardo; Castro, JoanaAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global public health threat, with the food chain serving as a significant transmission route connecting animals, environment, and humans. This review adopts a One Health perspective to analyze the key drivers of AMR dissemination across animal agriculture, aquaculture and food processing. We evaluate detection methodologies, contrasting the regulatory gold standar...
Advances in whole genome sequencing for foodborne pathogens: implications for c...
Gomes, Emílio; Araújo, Daniela; Nogueira, Teresa; Oliveira, Ricardo; Silva, Sónia Carina; Oliveira, Lorena V. N.; Azevedo, Nuno F.; Almeida, CarinaFoodborne outbreaks affecting millions of people worldwide are a significant and growing global health threat, exacerbated by the emergence of new and increasingly virulent foodborne pathogens. Traditional methods of detecting these outbreaks, including culture-based techniques, serotyping and molecular methods such as real-time PCR, are still widely used. However, these approaches often lack the precision and ...

Exploring the potential of cell-free supernatants in the control of foodborne p...
Ferreira, Sara; Gomes, Emílio; Araújo, Daniela Eira; Azevedo, Nuno F.; Almeida, Carina Manuela Fernandes; Castro, Joana Isabel Reis[Excerpt] Foodborne pathogens are a constant public health concern, frequently caus ing outbreaks that can lead to severe consequences. Traditional methods for controlling these microorganisms, such as antibiotics and disinfectants, are becoming less effective due to the rise in microbial resistance. Excessive use of these substances can contribute to the development of resistant strains, making it harder to ma...
Avaliação do potencial de sobrenadantes livres de células (SLC) contra agentes ...
Ferreira, Sara; Gomes, Emílio; Araújo, Daniela; Azevedo, Nuno F.; Almeida, Carina Manuela Fernandes; Castro, JoanaOs agentes patogénicos de origem alimentar são um problema recorrente de saúde pública, causando surtos frequentes que podem ter consequências drásticas. De modo a combater estes microrganismos, diversas medidas são habitualmente aplicadas, nomeadamente o uso de antibióticos e desinfetantes. No entanto, o uso excessivo destas substâncias pode levar ao desenvolvimento de resistência ou tolerância por parte dos m...
