Juliana Pfrimer Falcão graduated at Pharmaceutical Science School of Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCFAR- UNESP) in Brazil (1997) and she obtained the Master degree in Applied Microbiology (2000) at the same University. She got her Ph.D. in Science with focus on Pathogenic Bioagents (2004) and did her Postdoctoral in Genetics of Microorganisms (2006) at Medical School of Ribeirão Preto of Universidade de São Paulo-USP (FMRP-USP) in Brazil. Also, during her Ph.D. She did a training program in Molecular Biology as a Researcher Fellow Junior at Southwestern Medical Center - University of Texas in the United States (2003). Currently, she holds the position of Associate Professor at Pharmaceutical Science School of Ribeirão Preto at Universidade de São Paulo-USP, Brazil. The major research field of her laboratory has been in molecular epidemiology, virulence, genomics and transcriptomic of Gram-negative enteropathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Yersinia spp., and Shigella spp. besides other bacteria of clinical interest.

Campylobacteriosis is one of the main diarrheagenic diseases in different countries. The Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for approximately 90% of humans' infections, and poultry meat is the main vehicle for its transmission. In Brazil, C. jejuni studies and its isolation are seldom reported, since in the country there is no surveillance program for reporting infection by this microorg…
The infection caused by Campylobacter spp. is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution with significant repercussions in the level of public health. However, in Brazil the study and isolation of C. coli has not been frequent, making it difficult to evaluate its involvement as a cause of disease in humans and animals, as well as to determine the impact of its presence in food and the environm…
Campylobacteriosis is a zoonosis with a large distribution worldwide, and Campylobacter jejuni has been an important cause of gastroenteritis in humans in many European countries, as well as in the United States, Canada, Australia, among others. However, in Brazil the study and isolation of C. jejuni are less frequently reported, which makes it difficult to evaluate the importance and dim…
Campylobacteriosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution with significant repercussions on the level of public health and with a high socioeconomic impact. C. coli and C. jejuni species are common causes of gastroenteritis in humans affecting annually approximately 2.4 million people in the United States and an estimated of 9 million people in Europe. However, the pathogenesis process o…
The genus Campylobacter belongs to the family Campylobacteraceae and currently comprises 25 species. The two most common species of clinical significance are Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. The isolation of Campylobacter as a cause of gastroenteritis in humans in European and North American countries is very frequent. However, the isolation and the study of Campylobacter are …

Waterborne and foodborne diseases represent a severe public health concern. Bacteria of the genus Aeromonas are widely distributed in environmental sources, and are pathogenic to a range of animals. In humans, they are considered emerging pathogens, causing gastrointestinal and skin infections. Despite their medical importance, aspects of the prevalence and epidemiology of Aeromonas infec…
The genus Salmonella is the etiological agent of one of the main foodborne diseases, salmonellosis, with foods of animal origin being its main source of transmission. In Brazil, its real incidence is still unknown, but it is known that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is the second most detected serotype in humans after Salmonella Enteritidis. In addition to gastroenteritis, some s…
Campylobacteriosis is one of the main diarrheagenic diseases in different countries. The species Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for approximately 90% of these infections in humans, and poultry meat is the main vehicle for its transmission. In Brazil, there is a lack of C. jejuni studies and its isolation has been unfrequently, since in the country there is no surveillance program for…

Salmonellosis caused by non-typhoidal serovars is among one of the most reported foodborne infection worldwide. Strains of Salmonella Infantis (S. Infantis), a non-specific host serovar, are capable to infect multiple animal reservoirs besides humans and have been reported presenting multidrug resistant profiles. This project aims to verify the genetic diversity of S. Infantis strains iso…
Campylobacteriosis is a zoonosis with a large distribution worldwide, and Campylobacter jejuni is an important cause of gastroenteritis in humans in many European countries, as well as in the United States, Canada, Australia, among others. However, in Brazil the study and isolation of C. jejuni are not frequent, which makes it difficult to evaluate the importance and dimension of this pat…
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis worldwide. Approximately 93.8 million cases of salmonellosis occur annually by non-typhoid Salmonella around the world. However, in Brazil there are few studies that have elucidated possible differences in the pathogenicity, virulence and genotypic diversity of S. Typhi…

Salmonellosis caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars is a major foodborne disease occurring worldwide. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis) is a zoonotic, foodborne, ubiquitous and non-typhoid serovar, capable of infecting multiple animal reservoirs besides humans. It has been reported among the most commonly isolated non-typhoid Salmonella serovars in m…
Campylobacteriosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution with significant repercussions at the level of Public Health and with a high socio-economic impact. Considering that Brazil is the largest exporter of poultry meat in the world, and that the most important potential transmission routes of Campylobacter coli to humans are considered to be the consumption and handling of improperly …
The disease caused Salmonella is one of the major health problems worldwide in terms of morbidity and mortality. Among Salmonella enterica serovars, the Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) comprises strains that have the ability to colonize the reproductive tract of chickens and to contaminate egg compounds, which enabled S. Enteritidis to become the most common Salmonella serovar causing human …
