Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nancy Miranda"
- Nancy Miranda's recent research primarily focuses on the use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the rapid identification of various foodborne and pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Cronobacter spp., which are significant public health threats.
- Her studies emphasize the effectiveness of combining MALDI-TOF MS with genetic sequencing methods, such as 16S rRNA and MLST, to enhance the identification accuracy of microorganisms from environmental and clinical samples.
- Miranda's findings highlight the emerging risks associated with foodborne pathogens, particularly Cronobacter spp. linked to neonatal diseases and the importance of robust diagnostic tools in preventing public health crises.
