- Natural sanitizer against nosocomial infection agents by Machaerium and Byrsonima, AP.R
Abstract
Hospital sanitation is responsible for ensuring that the environments in which vulnerable patients are located do not pose a risk to their health. Effective sanitation, however, is not easy to achieve. Around 50% of hospital surfaces were found to be contaminated, due to lapses in the effectiveness of the sanitizers currently used, which in addition to recontamination, can even induce mic…
- Profile of microRNAs from the C19MC and C14MC family involved in the regulation of antiviral and inflammatory response in placentas in Chikungunya and Oropouche infection, AP.R
Abstract
Viral infection during pregnancy can pose risks such as vertical transmission and serious consequences for the fetus. Prenatal infection with arboviruses such as chikungunya (CHIKV) can have serious consequences with neurological damage to the fetus. Oropouche virus (OROV), an emerging arbovirus, causes oropouche fever and recent reports in 2024 have identified cases of fetal death and se…

- ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF PROPOLIS ON PLANKTONIC AND SESSILE CELLS OF Candida tropicalis., BP.IC
Abstract
Candida tropicalis is an important species that gives rise, among other conditions, to candidemia, and is characterized by its high associated mortality rate. It is considered one of the most virulent species of the genus, with a hallmark feature of C. tropicalis infections being the formation of biofilms on various surfaces of medical devices and implants, such as catheters, artificial h…
- Response of Chromobacterium violaceum to the oxidant hypochlorous acid, BP.MS
Abstract
Reactive chlorine species (RCS), such as hypochlorous acid (HOCl), are potent oxidants found in disinfectants and produced by immune cells as part of the antimicrobial defense. Bacteria have evolved various defence mechanisms against RCS. The response to HOCl in Chromobacterium violaceum, an environmental bacterium that interacts with neutrophils and other immune cells during infection in…
- IMPACT OF VARIATIONS IN THE POLYSACCHARIDE CAPSULE ON THE VIRULENCE OF PNEUMOCOCCUS IN VITRO, BP.MS
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium, a natural resident of the human nasopharynx, that plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of both invasive and non-invasive diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media, and sepsis. One of the most significant virulence factors of this species is its polysaccharide capsule (CPS), an essential structure that protects the bacte…

- Phenotypic study of extracellular vesicles and their relationship with senescence in the context of COVID-19, BP.EVC
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized particles released by almost all cell types and are recognized as new tools for local and systemic intercellular communication. It has been demonstrated that EVs carry and transfer a wide variety of molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, microRNAs, messenger RNAs. These molecules may be involved in physiological functions, the pathology of …

- The role and mechanism of gamma delta T cells in Mayaro virus infection, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a neglected arthritogenic arbovirus endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean, with a high potential to lead to future epidemics. Mayaro causes Mayaro fever, an illness with debilitating symptoms, such as fever, headache, polyarthralgia, and in some cases, neurological complications. Recent studies and our preliminary data indicated that gamma delta T cells can pla…
- Optimization of Purification and Cryo-EM Structural Determination of the Flagellar Stator MotAB-FliL Complex in Leptospira interrogans, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Leptospira interrogans is a highly motile spirochete bacterium and the causative agent of leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease with increasing global incidence. The flagellar motor of Leptospira is a complex nanomachine essential for motility and pathogenicity, driven by the interaction between rotor and stator units. The stator complex, composed of MotA, MotB, and FiIL proteins, plays a cru…
- Whole-Genome Sequencing of Clostridioides difficile isolates recovered from horses to screen for Virulence factors and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Clostridioides difficile is a pathogen associated with diarrhea in horses of all ages, representing a significant concern for animal health. This condition is exacerbated by the increasing antimicrobial resistance, particularly against widely used drugs such as metronidazole and vancomycin. Recent studies have identified multidrug-resistant isolates in various countries, underscoring the …

- Phylodynamics, and Evolution of Influenza A/H1N1pdm09 in Brazil: Integrating Genetic, Epidemiological, and Temporal Data (2009-2024), BE.EP.PD
Abstract
This project aims to conduct a comprehensive phylodynamic analysis of the Influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus in Brazil, spanning from 2009 to 2024. Influenza A viruses are significant public health threats, causing severe respiratory infections and resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The emergence of the A/H1N1pdm09 strain marked the first human influenza pandemic of the …
- Spatial prioritization of rabies zoonotic risk and applications for public health in Brazil, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
Economic activities in neotropical regions, particularly agricultural expansion, have led to highly fragmented landscapes, altering resources available to biodiversity and affecting species population dynamics. These environmental changes can influence species' success or decline, including the transmission of zoonotic diseases. Neotropical bats, particularly Desmodus rotundus, are impact…
- Evaluation of Leptospira interrogans FecR proteins rLIC10902 and rLIC20185 interaction with human cells and heterologous expression in non-pathogenic Leptospira, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
Pathogenic L. interrogans is the main causative agent of leptospirosis, a worldwide spread spillover that infects approximately 1 million people per year. Leptospiral infection is intimately related to its outer membrane proteins (OMPs), since they are the first structures to interact with a host's molecules. Thus, the study of these proteins is extremely important to understanding the pa…
