Proud to share my new paper, published just in time for #WAAW2025!
🦠 We highlight how some E. faecium (VVE) strains can slip under the radar, posing a quiet but serious AMR challenge.

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

🎉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! 🎅

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!

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
