Identification of linezolid-resistant Enterococcus spp. in calves: findings fro...
Ribeiro, Alícia; Teixeira, Maria J.; Pinho, Luís; Campos, Carla; Novais, Carla; Peixe, Luísa; Brito, Nuno V.; Quinteira, Sandra; Miranda, CarlaBackground: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat requiring a One Health approach, as antibiotic-resistant bacteria can spread between animals and humans. Enterococcus spp., particularly E. faecium (Efm) and E. faecalis (Efs), are key AMR indicators due to their role as gut commensals and their potential as reservoirs of resistance genes. They are also opportunistic pathogens that can cause s...
Dairy cattle and the iconic autochthonous cattle in northern Portugal are reser...
Quinteira, Sandra; Dantas, Rui; Pinho, Luís; Campos, Carla; Freitas, Ana R.; Brito, Nuno V.; Miranda, Carla; Campos, CarlaAnimals destined for human consumption play a key role in potentially transmitting bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes. However, there is limited knowledge about the carriage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in native breeds. We aimed to characterize the phenotypic profiles and antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from bovines, including three native Portuguese bovine breeds. Forty...
Colistin-resistant Escherichia coli in calves and adult cattle from Portuguese ...
Ribeiro, Madalena F.; Pinho, Luís; V. Brito, Nuno; Campos, Carla; Freitas, Ana R.; Quinteira, Sandra; Miranda, CarlaBackground: Antimicrobial resistance poses a pressing and significant challenge, driven by the intricate interplay among animals, humans, and the environment [1]. Escherichia coli, a commensal within animal and human gut microbiota, stands as one of the most ubiquitous bacteria. With a multitude of resistance genes, many E. coli strains exhibit a multidrug-resistant phenotype, diminishing the effectiveness...
Providing contextual information in smart cities with bluetooth beacons: a syst...
Pinho, Luís; Gonçalves, Pedro; Dias, Gonçalo PaivaLocation-based services are becoming a vital part of people's daily lives, namely with the emergence of Smart Cities. In this context, it has become increasingly important to provide contextual information to deliver accurate services and meaningful results. Bluetooth Beacons are a widely adopted technology used for this endeavor. This paper addresses this subject by presenting a systematic review of the curren...
