Pet food safety: emerging bacterial hazards and implications for public health
Antunes, Patrícia; Novais, Carla; Peixe, L.; Freitas, A.R.Bacterial hazards in pet food, especially in raw diets, are a current public health issue to both pets and humans. The most substantial body of evidence and consequent risk stems from food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella and bacteria resistant to last-resort antibiotics (e.g. colistin, third generation of cephalosporins, linezolid). State-of-the-art methods, particularly whole-genome sequencing, have been fu...

Current insights into the effects of cationic biocides exposure on Enterococcus...
Pereira, A.P.; Antunes, Patrícia; Peixe, L.; Freitas, A.R.; Novais, Carla<jats:p>Cationic biocides (CBs), such as quaternary ammonium compounds and biguanides, are critical for controlling the spread of bacterial pathogens like <jats:italic>Enterococcus</jats:italic> spp., a leading cause of multidrug-resistant healthcare-associated infections. The widespread use of CBs in recent decades has prompted concerns about the potential emergence of <jats:italic>Enterococcus</jats:italic> s...
Insights into the phylogeny, resistome, virulome and host adaptation from Gardn...
Teixeira, P.; Sousa, M.; Grosso, F.; Ribeiro, T.; Peixe, L.Background: Gardnerella spp. is often seen as evidence of vaginal pathologies, although members of this genus can also be found in the urinary and vaginal microbiota of asymptomatic women [1,2], making its role in the urogenital tract unclear. Objective: To assess phylogenomic and functional analysis of Gardnerella genus. Resistance (ARGs) and virulence genes (Vg) was also explored to unveil their role in healt...
Novel insights into healthy humans’ faecal carriage of enterococci: Enterococcu...
Almeida-Santos, A. C.; Duarte, B.; Teixeira, M. J.; Tedim, A. P.; Novais, C.; Peixe, L.; Freitas, A. R.Background: Enterococcus lactis (Elts) [former Enterococcus faecium (Efm) clade-B] has been greatly associated with human colonization, but its epidemiology is unknown since this reclassification [1]. We aimed to assess the contemporary faecal carriage of enterococci species among healthy-humans (HH) in Portugal and get novel insights about Efm/Elts differences. Methods: Fifty-one faecal samples (29-women/22-me...
Unraveling the Role of Metals and Organic Acids in Bacterial Antimicrobial Resi...
Rebelo, A; Agostinho Almeida; Peixe, L.; Antunes, Patrícia; Novais, C.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has a significant impact on human, animal, and environmental health, being spread in diverse settings. Antibiotic misuse and overuse in the food chain are widely recognized as primary drivers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, other antimicrobials, such as metals and organic acids, commonly present in agri-food environments (e.g., in feed, biocides, or as long-term polluta...
