• The expression of virulence factors in vibrio anguillarum is dually regulated by iron levels and temperature 

  Afonso Lages, Marta; Balado Dacosta, Miguel; Lemos Ramos, Manuel Luís (Frontiers Media, 2019)

  Vibrio anguillarumcauses a hemorrhagic septicemia that affects cold- and warm-wateradapted fish species. The main goal of this work was to determine the temperature-dependent changes in the virulence factors that could ...

• The fish pathogen Vibrio ordalii under iron deprivation produces the siderophore piscibactin 

  Ruiz, Pamela; Balado Dacosta, Miguel; Fuentes Monteverde, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez, Jaime; Jiménez, Carlos; Avendaño Herrera, Rubén Esteban; Lemos Ramos, Manuel Luís (MDPI, 2019)

  Vibrio ordaliiis the causative agent of vibriosis, mainly in salmonid fishes, and its virulencemechanisms are still not completely understood. In previous works we demonstrated thatV. ordaliipossess several iron uptake ...

• Draft genome sequences of photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida SNW-8.1 and PP3, two fish-isolated strains containing a type III secretion system 

  Abushattal, Saqr; Vences Lorenzo, Ana; Santos, Nuno M.S. dos; Vale, Ana do; Rodríguez Osorio, Carlos (American Society for Microbiology, 2019)

  Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two strains of the fishpathogenPhotobacterium damselaesubsp.piscicida, isolated fromSalmo salar(SNW-8.1) andSeriola quinqueradiata(PP3). The identification of a type III secretion ...

• Preparation of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles conjugated with feroxamine and their evaluation for pathogen detection 

  Martínez Matamoros, Diana; Castro García, Socorro; Balado Dacosta, Miguel; Matamoros Veloza, Adriana; Camargo Valero, Miller Alonso; Cespedes, Oscar; Rodríguez, Jaime; Lemos Ramos, Manuel Luis; Jiménez, Carlos (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)

  This work reports the preparation of a conjugate between amino-functionalized silica magnetite and thesiderophore feroxamine. The morphology and properties of the conjugate and intermediate magneticnanoparticles (MNPs) ...

• Capsid amino acids at positions 247 and 270 are involved in the virulence of betanodaviruses to European sea bass 

  Moreno, Patricia; Souto Pereira, Sandra; Leiva Rebollo, Rocio; Borrego García, Juan José; Bandín Matos, María Isabel; Alonso, Carmen M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)

  European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is severely afected by nervous necrosis disease, caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV). Two out of the four genotypes of this virus (red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus, ...
