V International Congress in Health Sciences Research

Our team members contributed to the Organizing Committee and Scientific Commission, served as Session Chairs and presented oral and poster communications showcasing our latest research.

​We presented two oral communications:

1. Inês Fonseca, Cristiana Mateus, Fernanda Domingues, Mónica Oleastro, Susana Ferreira. “The potential influence of short-chain fatty acids on the virulence of Arcobacter butzleri”.

2. Cristiana Mateus, Fernanda Domingues, Roland Bücker, Mónica Oleastro, Susana Ferreira. “Potential role of cadF and ciaB genes in the virulence of Arcobacter butzleri”.

​

And five posters:

1. Beatriz Sousa, Alexandra Coimbra, Ana Paula C. Duarte, Susana Ferreira. "Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxic Properties of Essential Oils from Aromatic Plants and Spices". 

2. Yohana Pinto, Inês Margarida Cardoso Martins, Mónica Oleastro, Susana Ferreira. "Exploring Biocide Tolerance in Campylobacter jejuni and Arcobacter butzleri". 

3. Inês Martins, Alexandra Nunes, Mónica Oleastro, Susana Ferreira. "Subclinical ciprofloxacin exposure impacts Arcobacter butzleri resistance, virulence and bacterial physiology"

4. Alexandra Coimbra, Ângelo Luís, Pedro Dinis Gaspar, Susana Ferreira, Ana Paula C. Duarte. "Evaluation of the bioactive activities of wild plants from Serra da Gardunha mountain region in Portugal". 

5. Marina Posso, Luís Amaral, João Serrano, Paulo Almeida, Fernanda C. Domingues, Samuel Silvestre, Susana Ferreira. "Novel iminodibenzyl/fluoroquinolone hybrid compounds with promising activity against efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance bacteria: In silico and in vitro evaluation". 

A great opportunity to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and strengthen our presence in the scientific community!
