Main lines of research
The main research areas developed are:
• Respiratory infection
• Antimicrobial resistance
Within the “Respiratory infection” area, his research focuses on the study of Streptococcus pneumoniae, from a clinical and epidemiological approach. Also, serotyping techniques and the efficacy of the new conjugate vaccines in the prevention of pneumococcal infection are priority issues in their research. Pulmonary infections caused by species of the genus Nocardia are also of great interest in this area. Resistance in respiratory pathogens, especially in S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes and Nocardia, stands
out in the research area of antimicrobial resistance. Apart from the epidemiology of the resistance, his investigations are based on the detection of the mechanisms and determinants of resistance of the different respiratory pathogenic bacteria and the application of new rapid techniques for the detection of this resistance.
