Temi di ricerca

PhD Project

The extensive use of antibiotics in the livestock production systems can lead to the presence of AMR genes in bacteria that contaminate or naturally occur in milk and dairy products, thereby introducing them into the food chain. In this context, Whole Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing (WMS) allows the generation of a vast amount of data which can be interrogated to generate the desired evidence, including the resistome. However, the host DNA poses a challenge to metagenome analysis.
Given the current paucity of literature concerning the application of Whole Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing (WMS) on milk, the aim of our project is to evaluate the effect of different sequencing depths, host DNA depletion methods and matrices in order to characterize the resistome of a milk production environment; secondly, taking advantage of the previous results, we plan to investigate the resistome and the microbiome of dairy farms with different management practices.

Side Projects

Foodborne pathogens are a major public health threat; among them, emerging foodborne parasites remain often neglected. Therefore, we aim to apply molecular methods on the investigation of foodborne parasites, focusing on protozoa, neglected trematodiases and cestodes.
