Resistome, Virulome, and Clonal Variation in Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in He...
Silva, Vanessa; Silva, Adriana; Barbero, Raquel; Romero, Mario; Del Campo, Rosa; Caniça, Manuela; Cordeiro, Rui; Igrejas, Gilberto; Poeta, PatriciaThis cross-sectional study investigates the methicillin-resistant (MRSA): its prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and molecular characteristics in healthy swine populations in central Portugal. A total of 213 samples were collected from pigs on twelve farms, and MRSA prevalence was assessed using selective agar plates and confirmed via molecular methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole genome s...
Unveiling Antibiotic Resistance, Clonal Diversity, and Biofilm Formation in Iso...
Silva, Adriana; Silva, Vanessa; Dapkevicius, Maria de Lurdes Enes; Azevedo, Mónica; Cordeiro, Rui; Pereira, José Eduardo; Valentão, PatríciaEscherichia coli, a commensal microorganism found in the gastrointestinal tract of human and animal hosts, plays a central role in agriculture and public health. Global demand for animal products has promoted increased pig farming, leading to growing concerns about the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains in swine populations. It should be noted that a significant portion of antibiotics deployed i...

Tuning the 1H NMR paramagnetic relaxation enhancement and local order of [Aliqu...
Cordeiro, Rui; Beira, Maria; Cruz, Carlos; Figueirinhas, João; Corvo, Marta C.; Almeida, Pedro L.; Rosatella, Andreia; Mateus Afonso, Carlos AlbertoUnderstanding the behavior of a chemical compound at a molecular level is fundamental, not only to explain its macroscopic properties, but also to enable the control and optimization of these properties. The present work aims to characterize a set of systems based on the ionic liquids [Aliquat][Cl] and [Aliquat][FeCl4] and on mixtures of these with different concentrations of DMSO by means of H-1 NMR relaxometr...
