    • Marcoleta, Andrés; Varas, Macarena A.; Ortiz Severin, Javiera; Vásquez, L.; Berríos Pasten, Camilo; Sabag, Andrea; Chávez Espinosa, Francisco; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Santiviago Cid, Carlos; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio; Lagos Mónaco, Rosalba (Frontiers Media SA, 2018)
      Multiresistant and invasive hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have become one of the most urgent bacterial pathogen threats. Recent analyses revealed a high genomic plasticity of this species, harboring a variety ...
    • Díaz Pascual, Francisco; Ortiz Severin, Javiera; Varas, Macarena A.; Allende Connelly, Miguel; Chávez Espinosa, Francisco (Frontiers media SA, 2017)
      The outcome of a host-pathogen interaction is determined by the conditions of the host, the pathogen, and the environment. Although numerous proteomic studies of in vitro-grown microbial pathogens have been performed, in ...
    • 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) ...
    • Fernanda Palominos, M.; Verdugo, Lidia; Gabaldon, Carolaing; Pollak, Bernardo; Ortiz Severin, Javiera; Varas, Macarena A.; Chávez Espinosa, Francisco; Calixtoa, Andrea (American Society Microbiology, 2017)
      The dynamic response of organisms exposed to environmental pathogens determines their survival or demise, and the outcome of this interaction depends on the host's susceptibility and pathogen-dependent virulence factors. ...
