Bruna is a veterinary microbiologist specializing in host-microbiota interactions and infectious diseases. Her research explores how microbial communities impact animal health, with a particular focus on Peptacetobacter hiranonis and its role in bile acid metabolism in dogs and cats. Bruna’s work seeks to investigate important links between gut microbes and chronic gastrointestinal disorders.
She has contributed to veterinary science, publishing research on intestinal and oral microbiota, zoonotic pathogens, and infectious diseases across a range of species, including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, and wildlife. Beyond microbiome research, Bruna has examined bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella spp., Streptococcus suis, and Mycobacterium species, addressing issues including antimicrobial resistance, molecular diagnostics, and the pathological characterization of infections.
