Main lines of research
• Clinical and molecular epidemiology of invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal diseases
• Study of bacterial resistance mechanisms and mobile elements harboring resistance determi- nants
• Molecular typing and population dynamics of microorganisms causing respiratory infec- tions(Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus).
• Bacterial diversity analysis of respiratory samples from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Traditional culture-based vs culture-inde- pendent (microbiome) techniques.
• Biofilm formation by microorganisms causing respiratory tract infections. Bacterial genotypes persistence.
