Seminar topic: Eco-evolutionary dynamics of bacterial strains across Human gut microbiotas

Hugo did his bachelor's in Biology followed by a master in Applied Microbiology, both at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa in Portugal. His master's thesis was focused on the type VII secretion system of Bacillus subtilis. He then did his PhD in Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Portugal, in which he followed the evolution of Escherichia coli in the mouse gut in the context of host aging.

Neisseria meningitidis filamentous phage MDA promotes colonisation by selecting hyperadhesive pili variants

Neisseria meningitidis is a strictly human bacterium that usually colonises the nasopharynx asymptomatically but can, in some cases, cause severe invasive diseases such as septicaemia and meningitis. Among the factors associated with meningococcal virulence, filamentous bacteriophages have emerged as important modulators of bacterial fitness and host colonisation.
