Research in clinical microbiology and antibiotic resistance
Our group is made up of specialists in Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Analysis. The lines of research belong to different fields of Microbiology and include infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
The work of our group focuses on two main lines of research:
- The study and characterisation of the different mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, the main virulence factors of pathogenic microorganisms isolated from clinical samples and the surveillance of the clones circulating in our environment.
- The study and active surveillance of respiratory viruses circulating in the community as well as the surveillance of other microorganisms causing emerging infectious diseases.
