    • Amplification of tlh gene in other Vibrionaceae specie by specie-specific multiplex PCR of Vibrio parahaemolyticus 
      Yáñez, Romina; Bastías, Roberto; Higuera, Gastón; Salgado, Oscar; Katharios, Pantelis; Romero Ormazábal, Jaime; Espejo Torres, Romilio; García, Katherine (PUCV, 2015)
      Background: The surveillance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Chilean coast has been mainly performed by multiplex PCR amplification of three different hemolysin genes, which are specie-specific virulence factors. These ...
    • Avances y limitaciones en el uso de los dsRNA como estrategias de control y prevención de enfermedades ... 
      Papić, Ljubomir; García, Katherine; Romero Ormazábal, Jaime (Univ. Católica de Valparaíso, 2015)
      El desarrollo de la acuicultura sustentable es acorde con la demanda creciente de nuevas metodologías que aseguren la salud de las diversas especies acuícolas. Dentro de ellas, el uso de terapias revolucionarias basadas ...
    • Microevolution of Pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus Assessed by the Number of Repeat Units in Short Sequence ... 
      García, Katherine; Gavilán, Ronnie G.; Höfle, Manfred G.; Martínez Urtaza, Jaime; Espejo Torres, Romilio (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2012-01-24)
      The emergence of the pandemic strain Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 in 1996 caused a large increase of diarrhea outbreaks related to seafood consumption in Southeast Asia, and later worldwide. Isolates of this strain ...
    • Potential probiotic yeasts isolated from the fish gut protect zebrafish (Danio rerio) from a Vibrio anguillarum ... 
      Caruffo, Mario; Navarrete, Natalie; Salgado, Oscar; Díaz, Angélica; López, Paulina; García, Katherine; Feijóo, Carmen Gloria; Navarrete Wallace, Paola (Frontiers Media, 2015)
      Due to the negative consequences associated with the use of antibiotics, researchers, and food producers have studied alternatives, such as probiotics, for the control of fish diseases. The probiotic properties of yeasts ...
    • Probiotic yeasts and vibrio anguillarum infection modify the microbiome of zebrafish larvae 
      Vargas Blanco, Orlando; Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Caruffo, Mario; Valderrama, Benjamín; Medina, Daniel A.; García, Katherine; Reyes Jara, Angélica Sofía; Toro Ibaceta, Magaly Alejandra; Feijóo, Carmen G.; Navarrete Wallace, Paola Alejandra (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      The host microbiome plays an essential role in health and disease. Microbiome modification by pathogens or probiotics has been poorly explored especially in the case of probiotic yeasts. Next-generation sequencing currently ...
    • Rise and fall of pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus serotype O3:K6 in southern Chile 
      García, Katherine; Bastías, Roberto; Higuera, Gastón; Torres, Rafael; Mellado, Álex; Uribe, Paulina; Espejo Torres, Romilio (Society for Applied Microbiology and Blackwell Publishing, 2013)
      Seafood consumption-related diarrhoea increased drastically in Chile when the pandemic strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus serotype O3:K6 reached Region de Los Lagos, where most of Chile’s seafood is produced. Outbreaks ...
    • The high risk of bivalve farming in coastal areas with heavy metal pollution and antibiotic-resistant ... 
      Pavón, Alequis; Riquelme, Diego; Jaña, Víctor; Iribarren, Cristian; Manzano, Camila; López Joven, Carmen; Reyes Cerpa, Sebastián; Navarrete Wallace, Paola Alejandra; Pavez, Leonardo; García, Katherine (Frontiers Media, 2022)
      Anthropogenic pollution has a huge impact on the water quality of marine ecosystems. Heavy metals and antibiotics are anthropogenic stressors that have a major effect on the health of the marine organisms. Although heavy ...
