Overview

Mathieu Picardeau is affiliated with the Institut Pasteur in France and has a research focus primarily in Immunology and Microbiology. Their work spans several subfields including Parasitology, Infectious Diseases, Small Animals, Epidemiology, and Genetics. The main topics covered in their research involve leptospirosis, viral infections and vectors, veterinary medicine and infectious diseases, Mycobacterium diagnosis, zoonotic diseases and public health, Yersinia bacterium and plague, as well as studies related to humic substances and bio-organic materials.

Picardeau has published extensively on leptospirosis research and findings, contributing to a body of 138 publications within this area. Their scientific output includes notable papers such as:

  • The zoonotic pathogen Leptospira interrogans mitigates environmental stress through cyclic-di-GMP-controlled biofilm production, 2020, published in npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
  • Leptospira ainlahdjerensis sp. nov., Leptospira ainazelensis sp. nov., Leptospira abararensis sp. nov. and Leptospira chreensis sp. nov., four new species isolated from water sources in Algeria, 2021, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY
  • Histones with an unconventional DNA-binding mode in vitro are major chromatin constituents in the bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, 2023, Nature Microbiology
  • 4-Methylcytosine DNA modification is critical for global epigenetic regulation and virulence in the human pathogen Leptospira interrogans, 2020, Nucleic Acids Research
  • Circulating genotypes of Leptospira in French Polynesia: An 9-year molecular epidemiology surveillance follow-up study, 2020, PLoS neglected tropical diseases

Picardeau collaborates frequently with several researchers. Their most common coauthors include Nadia Benaroudj, Frédéric J. Veyrier, Samuel G. Huete, Jean-François Mariet, and Cecilia Nieves, with each contributing to multiple joint publications.

The scientist publishes regularly in venues such as bioRxiv, PLoS neglected tropical diseases, Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses Formation, PLoS Pathogens, and the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY.

Beyond journal articles, Picardeau has contributed to book literature, including a publication with Springer Science+Business Media titled Leptospira spp. (2020).
