    • Bacteriophages in the control of pathogenic vibrios 
      Plaza, Nicolás; Castillo, Daniel; Pérez Reytor, Diliana; Higuera Guajardo, Gastón; García, Katherine; Bastias, Roberto (Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2018)
      Vibrios are common inhabitants of marine and estuarine environments. Some of them can be pathogenic to humans and/or marine animals using a broad repertory of virulence factors. Lately, several reports have indicated that ...
    • Presence of listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat artisanal Chilean foods 
      Bustamante, Fernanda; Maury Sintjago, Eduard; Cerda Leal, Fabiola; Acuña, Sergio; Aguirre, Juan; Troncoso, Miriam; Figueroa, Guillermo; Parra Flores, Julio (MDPI, 2020)
      Ready-to-eat (RTE) artisanal foods are very popular, but they can be contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes. The aim was to determine the presence of L. monocytogenes in artisanal RTE foods and evaluate its food safety ...
    • Profiling the virulence and antibiotic resistance genes of Cronobacter sakazakii strains Isolated From ... 
      Parra Flores, Julio; Holý, Ondrej; Riffo, Francisca; Lepuschitz, Sarah; Maury-Sintjago, Eduard; Rodríguez Fernández, Alejandra; Cruz Córdova, Ariadnna; Xicohtencatl Cortés, Juan; Mancilla Rojano, Jetsi; Troncoso, Miriam; Figueroa, Guillermo; Ruppitsch, Werner; Forsythe, Stephen (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      Cronobacter sakazakii is an enteropathogen that causes neonatal meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants and newborns with a mortality rate of 15 to 80%. Powdered and dairy formulas (P-DF) ...
    • Role of non-coding regulatory RNA in the virulence of human pathogenic vibrios 
      Pérez Reytor, Diliana; Plaza, Nicolás; Espejo, Romilio T.; Navarrete, Paola; Bastías, Roberto; García, Katherine (Frontiers Media, 2017)
      In recent decades, the identification of small non-coding RNAs in bacteria has revealed an important regulatory mechanism of gene expression involved in the response to environmental signals and to the control of virulence. ...
    • Virulence and antibiotic resistance genes in listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from ready-to-eat foods ... 
      Parra Flores, Julio; Holy, Ondrej; Bustamante, Fernanda; Lepuschitz, Sarah; Pietzka, Ariane; Contreras Fernández, Alejandra; Castillo, Claudia; Ovalle, Catalina; Alarcón Lavín, María Paula; Cruz Córdova, Ariadnna; Xicohtencatl Cortes, Juan; Mancilla Rojano, Jetsi; Troncoso, Miriam; Figueroa Rebolledo, Guillermo Ivan; Ruppitsch, Werner (Frontiers Media, 2022)
      Listeria monocytogenes is causing listeriosis, a rare but severe foodborne infection. Listeriosis affects pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals. Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are the most ...
