🎬 I was honoured to lecture in @redemc_cursos course “Antibiogramas 2025: WHO Priority Bacteria and Fungi. New advances and challenges in the interpretation of the Antibiogram" with >1,400 participants. Thanks for the invitation @RafaMCanton & co-organizers! @UCIBIO_Research
Talking about #AntimicrobialResistance and #Micromundo for @RTPNoticias today. Thanks @TOXRUNIUCS @Cespu_Ensino for the invitation to beautiful #Porto @esmisionposible
Another year, Spain at the top in clinical microbiology (#ECCMIDGlobal2025). However, it is sadly surprising that we do not officially have the Infectious Diseases specialty. What else should we do?@sanidadgob @ciberinfec @ECDC_EU @SEIMC_ @GemaraSeimc @ESCMID @ESGEM_ESCMI 👇RT!
Un año más 🇪🇸 es el primer país en comunicaciones al #ESCMIDGlobal2025... y sin especialidad de #enfermedadesinfecciosas. @sanidadgob necesitamos urgentemente #SIEspecialidadEI para evitar perder todo lo que hemos conseguido #SpainhasnoIDSpeciality @ESCMID

🙌🏼 So proud of our PhD student @anaasantos96 for publishing this hard work at the final stage of her thesis. We found a little of everything in a small sample of fecal healthy humans, take a look. More are coming soon!
👏New paper by @anaasantos96 et al. ending the year! We assessed Enterococcus spp. diversity in healthy adults finding: 🔍VVE 🔍linezolid-resistant strains 🔍E. lactis increase since 2001 🔍Species-specific bacteriocins inhibiting VRE journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae… @UCIBIO_Research
🎉We started the theoretical training of our incredible MicriTAs, taking the 1st step towards a new learning cycle. We will continue next year with laboratory training preparing the activities for school students. Happy Holidays! 🎅 @Cespu_Ensino @TOXRUNIUCS @UCIBIO_Research
📢New paper in the lab! We explored genomic/epidemiological landscapes of redundant pbp5 genes in Enterococcus spp. with exciting results: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @Carla_Novais11 @anarpf1981 @LpeixeLuisa @oqpich @paulabierge @m_sanchezosuna @UCIBIO_Research @STOTEN_journal
So proud of our students for joining #WAAW2024! They created a powerful poster and video to highlight the vital importance of safeguarding antimicrobials (too large to post here). We are all part of the solution! 🌍💊 @Cespu_Ensino @UCIBIO_Research @MicroMundo_IUCS
Semana Mundial de Consciencialização sobre a Resistência Antimicrobiana. Este ano, sob o lema “Educar. Prevenir. Atuar agora”, o Instituto Universitário de Ciências da Saúde - CESPU associa-se à iniciativa com a 3.ª edição do projeto @MicroMundo_IUCS .
You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with @nikikaderabkova @AyeshaMahmood2 and a pleasure to publish in @npjAMR. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR
Save the date as the next @IUMSmicrobio 2026 will occur in Lisbon! 🇵🇹✨
Last week, we proudly represented the Portuguese Society of Microbiology at the International Union of Microbiological Societies @IUMSmicrobio #IUMS2024 in Florence! Excited to bring back insights and make #IUMS2026 in Lisbon even better (if possible), save the date! 🇵🇹
Excellent and important talk by @RafaMCanton clearly explaining the recent advances in fast antibiotic susceptibility testing @IUMSmicrobio #iums2024
Fascinating talk (as usual) by Martin Blaser about our dissapearing microbiota with long-lasting effects across generations @IUMSmicrobio #iums2024
Home for the next days in this beautiful palace hosting #iums2024 in Florence, Italy 🇮🇹 @IUMSmicrobio @SPMicrobiologia
