Graduate at Biological Science from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (1982), master's at Immunology from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1986) and PhD at Microbiology from Universidade Federal de São Paulo (1994). Postdoctoral studies at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain (2004) and postdoctoral studies in Mycology at the University of Michigan, USA (2016). Acting in the following subjects: 1) Escherichia coli: virulence factors, biofilm and antimicrobial resistance; 2) Amphibian chytridomycosis: Isolation and molecular diagnosis of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis; 3) Macrofungi of the ARIE Forest of Saint Genebra, diversity and molecular phylogeny.

In Brazil, the dairy cattle are present in 25% of bovine farms. The therapeutic use of antimicrobials, prophylactic or as growth promoter, has contributed for selection of resistance in commensal and pathogenic microorganisms. The spread of resistance and virulence genes is related to horizontal transfer mechanisms among microbial species and serving the food chain. Escherichia coli has c…
Since late 2009, our research group has been isolating strains of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in pure culture, for morphological, physiological and genetic. So far, eight Bd strains were isolated from animals collected in the Atlantic Forest. Recently it was demonstrated by Schloegel et al, (Mol Ecol. 21: 1-16, 2012) that some strains of Bd isolated frog native Brazilian are genet…
In Brazil, production and consumption of dairy products has been growing exponentially, a fact verified by the change in the milk trade balance in 2004, whence the country became a milk exporter. In the same proportion is an increase in demand for animal products produced in the organic system. Several reasons are given worldwide for the increased demand for organic products, including c…

Escherichia coli is a bacteria present in both animal's and human's gastrointestinal tracts. E. coli has commensal and pathogenic agents, and the ratio of these bacteria with the host allows the classification of these strains as reservoirs of resistance. One example is the vt gene. It codifies the production of verotoxin, responsible for Hemorrhagic Colitis (HC) and Hemolytic Uremic Synd…

Recently, the genomes of two kinds of Cryptomycota were sequenced and these data allowed the classification of the group and the most basal branch of the phylogenetic tree showed that the fungi and Cryptomycota phylum includes the cryptic parasite microsporidia group. As common parasites in aquatic and marine ecosystems, knowledge of the diversity and ecological role of Cryptomycota will …
