Bacterial population genetics
Epidemiology
Antimicrobial Resistance
Biofilms
Immunitation strategy

– Population genetics in different microbial pathogen species.
– Epidemiological targets in bacteria.
– Resistance to antibiotics and antibacterial chemicals, and its relationship with microbial population genetics.
– Microbial physiology in planktonic versus biofilms.
– The four lines are directed to identify the genetic elements that allow clonal selection on the basis of the microbial fitness in the biomedical ecosystem.
–
– The last line we are working on is finding new strategies to fight prevalent pathogens using lactic acid bacteria and reverse vaccinology.
