• Ant microbial symbionts are a new model for drug discovery 

      Artavia León, Allan; Pacheco Leiva, Miguel; Moya Román, Cristofer; Rodríguez Hernández, Natalia; Pinto Tomás, Adrián A. (2019)
      Ants have been widely studied, with 14,000 described species, but it is not until recently that they gained attention as sources for antimicrobial drug discovery. An increasing amount of studies are investigating ant-microbe ...

      Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ...
    • Exposure of a Tropical Soil to mg/kg of Oxytetracycline Elicits Hormetic Responses in the Catabolic Activities of its Microbial Community 

      Solís Jiménez, Yendry; Chavarría Molina, Guadalupe; García Santamaría, Fernando; Rodríguez Sánchez, César (2011-04)
      Many farmers in developing countries protect their crops with oxytetracycline and fertilize their farmlands with manure from animals that received this drug as growth promoter. In this study, a tropical soil was exposed ...
    • The antimicrobial potential of Streptomyces from insect microbiomes 

      Chevrette, Marc G.; Carlson, Caitlin M.; Ortega Dominguez, Humberto Enrique; Thomas, Christopher S.; Ananiev, Gene E.; Barns, Kenneth J.; Book, Adam J.; Cagnazzo, Julian; Carlos Shanley, Camila; Flanigan, Will; Grubbs, Kirk J.; Horn, Heidi A.; Hoffmann, F.

      Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and few novel antimicrobials have been discovered in recent decades. Natural products, particularly from Streptomyces, are the source of most antimicrobials, yet discovery ...
    • Transcriptomic determinants of the response of ST-111 Pseudomonas aeruginosa AG1 to ciprofloxacin identified by a top-down systems biology approach 

      Molina Mora, José Arturo; Chinchilla Montero, Diana; Chavarría Azofeifa, Maribel; Ulloa Morales, Alejandro J.; Campos Sánchez, Rebeca; Mora Rodríguez, Rodrigo Antonio; Shi, Leming; García Santamaría, Fernando (2020)
      Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that thrives in diverse environments and causes a variety of human infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa AG1 (PaeAG1) is a high-risk sequence type 111 (ST-111) strain isolated ...
