- Pathogenesis, diagnostic and molecular typing of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC/STEC) O104:H4, O157:H7, O26:H11, O103:H2, O111:H8, O121:H19, O145:H- and other serotypes. Detection in clinical samples and food.
- Intimin typing by PCR and DNA sequencing of eae gene of the LEE pathogenicity island.
- Serotypes, virulence genes and molecular typing of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC).
- Serotypes, virulence genes and molecular typing of E.coli producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). Characterization of the intercontinental emergence clone O25:H4-ST131 producing CTX-M-15.
- Molecular typing by PFGE and MLST.
- Analytical methods for STEC/VTEC detection and other categories of diarrheagenic E. coli in foods (meat, dairy products and vegetables) and clinical samples. Detection of STEC/VTEC O104:H4, O157:H7 and others serotypes by conventional and real-time PCR.
