An Innovative Approach to Estimate Infection by COVID-19
Oliveira, Manuela; Garção, Eugénio; Grilo, Luís M.; Mexia, João T.Publisher Copyright: © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.; Given that individuals in a certain population are different (among other things they have a different immune system), it is possible that some are infected with the known virus COVID-19 and are asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed with the disease. Thus, estimates of the number of infected and dead with COVID-19 may not c...

Full survival of Galleria mellonella infected with Staphylococcus aureus after ...
Serrano, Isa; Mil-Homens, Dalila; Guerreiro, J. F.; Cunha, Eva; Costa, SS; Tavares, Luís; Oliveira, ManuelaDiabetes mellitus affects nearly 6.4% of the worldwide population, and this number may double by 2030. Up to 25% of diabetic patients may develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Among DFU patients, 80% will suffer lower-limb amputations due to diabetic foot infections (DFIs), which are generally colonized by polymicrobial biofilms. Staphylococcus aureus is the DFIs’ predominant pathogen, frequently found together ...

New Insights on Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae Isolates
Alves-Barroco, Cinthia; Caço, João; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Fernandes, Alexandra R.; Bexiga, Ricardo; Oliveira, Manuela; Chambel, LéliaStreptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae (SDSD) has been considered a strict animal pathogen. Nevertheless, the recent reports of human infections suggest a niche expansion for this subspecies, which may be a consequence of the virulence gene acquisition that increases its pathogenicity. Previous studies reported the presence of virulence genes of Streptococcus pyogenes phages among bovine SDSD (collected...
Putative probiotic lactic acid bacteria isolated from sauerkraut fermentations
Touret, Tiago; Oliveira, Manuela; Semedo-Lemsaddek, TeresaProbiotics are live microorganisms which confer health benefits to the host, and may be isolated from several sources, such as vegetable foodstuffs. Sauerkraut is a cabbage product resulting from fermentation by a lactic acid bacteria microbial succession, and is a potential source for probiotics. The aim of the present study was the isolation and characterization of probiotic microorganisms from sauerkraut fer...
