Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) São Carlos campus, Brazil. Experienced in general, molecular, and genomic microbiology, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. Works on the detection of resistance genes and virulence factors using PCR and whole genome sequencing (WGS). Has experience in hospital epidemiology and surveillance of multidrug-resistant pathogens, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Klebsiella oxytoca, as well as in the bioprospecting of endophytic microorganisms for the discovery of new antimicrobials. Also skilled in the isolation, characterization, and metabolic induction of bacteria and fungi, including enzyme synthesis and nanoparticle production via green synthesis. Currently a PhD student in the Molecular Genetics and Microbiology (MGM) program at Duke University, United States. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In recent years, the increase in morbidity and mortality due to infections caused by resistant bacteria has become, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is one of the most serious global public health threats. K. oxytoca is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, that is closely related to K. pneumoniae. K. oxytoca is consid…
Disease control is challenging for science. A major factor that contributed to this difficulty is the growing resistance and microbial multiresistance, a phenomenon detected worldwide. Microbial resistance has restricted the use of drugs. In this context, the bioprospecting of new substances for application in in vitro tests is relevant for combating pathogens and preventing infections. T…
