PUBMED DOIAdditional Information
The Neisseria, Listeria and Bordetella Unit provides support to the National Health System with the aim of improving the health and well-being of citizens, through the development and application of diagnostic and molecular characterization techniques, generating laboratory data essential for the surveillance of infectious diseases covered by the Unit, as well as maintaining lines of research for microbiological and immunological evaluation of vaccines, both in development and those available.
The Unit has 4 microbiological surveillance programs at the National Center for Microbiology: For invasive meningococcal disease, for gonococcal infection, for listeriosis and for whooping cough. Likewise, the Unit maintains extensive activity in international networks and consortia: it is part of the EU-Ibis consortium for the study of Meningococcal Disease, the EURO-GASP program for the study of antibiotic resistance in gonococcus, the European Listeria typing group network and the European network for Bordetella, all of them coordinated and financed in whole or in part by the ECDC.
The Unit constitutes the External Reference Laboratory for meningococci of the PAHO/WHO SIREVAII network. Thus, the active lines of research in the Unit respond to the objectives defined both by the support for the National Health System and by the international collaborative work in which it actively participates.
