- 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.
