- | 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 in the evaluation of the impact of the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in this age group, on 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//. |
