Apoptosis and autophagy-related gene transcription during ovarian follicular atresia in European hake (Merluccius merluccius).
(Elsevier, 2023-01)Follicular atresia is an energy-saving oocyte resorption process that can allow the survival of female fish when environmental conditions are unfavourable and at the expense of fecundity. This study investigated the ... -
Arcobacter butzleri Biofilms: Insights into the Genes Beneath Their Formation
(MDPI, 2022)Arcobacter butzleri, the most prevalent species of the genus, has the demonstrated ability to adhere to various surfaces through biofilm production. The biofilm formation capability has been related to the expression of ... -
Aspergillus fumigatus Fumagillin Contributes to Host Cell Damage
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)The activity of fumagillin, a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus, has not been studied in depth. In this study, we used a commercial fumagillin on cultures of two cell types (A549 pneumocytes and RAW 264.7 ... -
Assessing pH-dependent activities of virulence factors secreted by Candida albicans
(Wiley, 2023-02)Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that can thrive under adverse conditions including suboptimal pH, nutrient scarcity, and low levels of oxygen. Its pathogenicity is associated with the production of virulence ... -
Bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia and SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia: differences and similarities
(Elsevier, 2022-02)OBJECTIVE: To analyse differences in clinical presentation and outcome between bacteraemic pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (B-PCAP) and sSvere Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia. METHODS: ... -

Bacterial Genomics and Epidemiology
(MDPI, 2023-05-29)Innovative technologies for Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) help to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of bacterial infectious diseases and are becoming affordable for most microbiological ... -
La bacteriemia como marcador pronóstico de la neumonía neumocócica adquirida en la comunidad en pacientes inmunocompetentes hospitalizados
(2021-11-26)La neumonía adquirida en la comunidad representa la primera causa de muerte por infección anivel mundial, siendo Streptococcus pneumoniae el agente etiológico identificado con másfrecuencia. Aproximadamente entre el 15 y ... -
Biodiversidad microbiana en el Cantábrico oriental
(2021-12-22)Este trabajo se ha centrado en el estudio de la composición taxonómica de la comunidadbacteriana en aguas superficiales de un sistema marino costero del Mar Cantábrico orientaldurante un periodo plurianual, combinando ... -
Biomarkers for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients
(Elsevier, 2021-07-24)Blood culture methods show low sensitivity, so reliable non-culture diagnostic tests are needed to help clinicians with the introduction, de-escalation, and discontinuation of antifungal therapy in patients with suspected ... -
