Highlights
MAIN PROJECTS
During 2015 we began a collaboration with the Eu- ropean project from the I-MOVE (Influenza - Mon- itoring Vaccine Effectiveness) network within the Horizon 2020 framework entitled: “Study of cases and controls to assess the effectiveness of influen- za vaccine against hospitalization in people over 64 years in Spain” (Grant Agreement: 634,446, PI: GCE).
As a result of Project FIS PI13/01708 ( “Streptococ- cus pneumoniae serotyping by multiplex-PCR and re- verse hybridization strip”), two prototypes have been validated, being the second one ready for marketing.
TRAINING
The group has a University Professor (EPT) and a Titular Professor who during 2015 was accredited by ANECA University Professor (EGPY).
MFR developed for 6 months a research program in the center Max von Pettenkofer-Institute, University Research Institute.
PHD AND MASTER PROGRAMS
During 2015, it was imparted the VI Master of the University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU), in

an academic course of 40-hour entitled: “Preventive Interventions for Communicable Diseases. EPT or- ganized and gave classes with the participation as teachers of another 5 members of the group (EPT, JMM, MMR, GCE, DVA).
Group members have participated in three doctoral programs at the University of the Basque Country. Programs: Medicine and Surgery (EPT and EGPZ); Research in Biomedicine (EGPY); Preventive Med- icine and Public Health (EPT, JMM, MMR, GCE, DVA).
OUTSTANDING RESULTS
As a result of our research in the “Multidisciplinary translational research in respiratory tract infec- tions-MARTIN project”, within the Corporate Re- search Program on Pneumonia, our group has dis- covered and described in 2015 a new species of Nocardia (Ercibengoa M, Bell M, Marimon JM, Hum- righouse B, Klenk HP, Schumann P, E.
