Lecture by Florent Rossi

(In French) Postdoctoral fellow at the Département de biochimie, de microbiologie et de bio-informatique et du Centre de recherche de l'Institut de cardiologie et pneumologie de Québec

Tuesday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m.

Vachon Building, room 1168-COPL

For the first time, we were able to identify significant concentrations of ARGs in cloud and aerosol samples collected at a mid-altitude site (the Puy de Dôme, 1465 m a.s.l.), attesting to the distant provenance of these genes. The observed high prevalence of genes involved in efflux pumps could suggest an important contribution of intrinsic global stress response mechanisms from environmental sources (notably the Atlantic Ocean), possibly favored by the conditions encountered during atmospheric transit (desiccation, oxidative stress, UV). For the time being, many questions remain unanswered, particularly with regard to the sources of emissions and the fate of these genes, but our results tend to highlight the key role played by the atmosphere in the acquisition and dispersal of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment.

(In French) Capacité de filtration, test d’ajustement et confort des utilisateurs de masques N95 décontaminés : l’expérience de l’IUCPQ durant la pandémie de la COVID-19

This lecture will examine the effect of two different hydrogen peroxide treatments on the filtering capabilities and fit quality of two N95 mask designs. The discomfort experienced by volunteers after wearing the treated RPAs and the challenges of large-scale implementation will also be discussed.
