  • Milk Quality and Mastitis in Dairy Cows
  • Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies

Nes has been involved in multiple publications across several scientific journals. Recent papers include:

  • "Purification and characterization of bacteriocins-like inhibitory substances from food isolated Enterococcus faecalis OS13 with activity against nosocomial enterococci" (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • "Nisin Z Production by Wild Strains of Lactococcus lactis Isolated from Brazilian (Italian Type) Fermented Sausage" (2020, International Journal of Microbiology)
  • "Molecular characterization of aureocin 4181: a natural N-formylated aureocin A70 variant with a broad spectrum of activity" (2020, Brazilian Journal of Microbiology)
  • "Biochemical, genetic and transcriptional characterization of multibacteriocin production by the anti-pneumococcal dairy strain Streptococcus infantarius LP90" (2020, PLoS ONE)
  • "Draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus agnetis 4244, a strain with gene clusters encoding distinct post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides" (2021, Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance)

Their research often involves collaboration, with frequent coauthors including Dag Anders Brede, Marcus Lívio Varella Coelho, Gabriela Silva Almeida, Maria do Carmo de Freire Bastos, and Ahmed O. El-Gendy. Nes's work is disseminated primarily through journals such as Scientific Reports, International Journal of Microbiology, Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, PLoS ONE, and Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance.
