- | My current work focuses the molecular epidemiology of //Streptococcus pyogenes// associated with non-invasive infection. I am interested in the clonal composition of the population of //S. pyogenes// isolated in Portuguese Hospitals, giving special attention to the macrolide-resistant strains, since antimicrobial resistance is a problem of major concern. | + | My current work focuses the molecular epidemiology of //Streptococcus pneumoniae// associated with invasive and non-invasive infection. I am particularly interested in the clonal composition of the population of //S. pneumoniae// isolated in children , with special attention to the invasive infections, and to evaluate the impact of the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in the serotype distribution and epidemiology of this important pathogen. I am also involved on the molecular diagnosis of complicated pneumonias, also in children, mainly caused by //S. pneumoniae//. |
