Maria-Halima Laaberki

Maria-Halima Laaberki is a Teacher-Researcher at VetAgro Sup (Veterinary Campus), affiliated with the Department of Livestock and Veterinary Public Health and the International Center for Infectious Disease Research (CIRI). Her contact email is maria-halima.laaberki@vetagro-sup.fr.

Her research focuses on infectious diseases at the intersection of veterinary and public health, with emphasis on bacterial pathogenesis, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, and zoonotic transmission. Key areas include:

• Molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
• Natural transformation and horizontal gene transfer in pathogens
• Environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance
• Veterinary health regulations and preventive strategies

Her recent publications (2017-2025) predominantly explore bacterial genetics, antimicrobial resistance dissemination, and pathogen evolution. Research employs genomic, molecular, and environmental approaches to investigate resistance gene transfer dynamics in clinical and environmental settings.

She collaborates with the CIRI research unit, focusing on multidisciplinary approaches to infectious disease challenges.
