Title: Isolation of intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira spp., (enteropathogen for various animal host and human) from faeces samples sent to public hospitals in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, México
Biography
Enrique Corona-Barrera has a
veterinary medicine degree and postgraduate studies on epidemiology and
microbiology. He has been working on intestinal spirochaetes for which he has
done work on pigs, chickens, dogs and more recently on human intestinal
spirocheatosis as he got a concern on public health issues. His research has
helped to have a better picture of Brachyspira in Mexico as he has carried out
epidemiological studies on the various host affected by Brachyspira. The work
done on intestinal spirochaetes in Mexico has been addressed using
bacteriological isolation and molecular techniques approaches on samples
collected in farms and hospitals.
The Brachyspira public health issue has not been well understood. My research interest is focused on pig
enteropathogens by applying epidemiological and microbiological methodologies
for understanding infectious diseases of pigs, particularly those that affect
the intestinal tract. Also interested in zoo noses for which intestinal
spirochaetes are of my concern.
