Bravo Toncio, Catalina; Alvárez, Javiera A.; Campos, Francisca; Ortiz Severin, Javiera; Varas, Macarena; Cabrera Paucar, Ricardo; Lagos, Carlos F.; Chávez, Francisco P. (Elsevier, 2016)The interest of the pharmaceutical industry in developing new antibiotics is decreasing, as established screening systems which identify compounds that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria can no longer be used. Consequently, ...

Villalobos, Valeria; Leiva, Ángel; Ríos, Hernán E.; Pavez, Jorge; Silva, Carlos P.; Ahmar, Mohammed; Queneau, Yves; Blamey, J. M.; Chávez, Francisco P.; Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela (American Chemical Society, 2018)© 2018 American Chemical Society. Inhibiting pathogenic bacterial adherence on surfaces is an ongoing challenge to prevent the development of biofilms. Multilayer polyelectrolyte films are feasible antibacterial materials. ...

Varas, Macarena A.; Riquelme Barrios, Sebastián; Valenzuela, Camila; Marcoleta, Andrés; Berríos Pasten, Camilo; Santiviago Cid, Carlos; Chávez, Francisco P. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018)Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) deficiency in enteric bacterial pathogens reduces their ability to invade and establish systemic infections in different hosts. For instance, inactivation of the polyP kinase gene (ppk) ...

Varas, Macarena; Fariña, Alonso; Díaz Pascual, Francisco; Ortíz-Severín, Javiera; Marcoleta, Andrés E.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Santiviago, Carlos A.; Chávez, Francisco P. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)© 2017The zebrafish model has been used to determine the role of vertebrate innate immunity during bacterial infections. Here, we compare the in vivo immune response induced by GFP-tagged Salmonella Typhimurium inoculated ...
