Molecular epidemiology of antibiotic resistance and virulence profiles of multidrug resistant pathogenic bacteria.
Surveillance studies are fundamental in clinical microbiology. The study of genetic variation of virulence and antibiotic resistance is one of the main research activities of our group. We work together with hospitals to collect clinical isolates of the most relevant pathogenic bacteria to study the genetic of their virulence and resistance using different molecular techniques including next generation sequencing
