Taxonomía Bacteriana

Los objetivos de investigación se focalizan en los ámbitos de la Taxonomía Bacteriana y de la Microbiología en Salud Pública: 
• Asignación taxonómica bacteriana de especies emergentes, inusuales, de difícil identificación implicadas en infección humana
• Descripción de nuevas especies
• Estudio de la biología poblacional bacteriana mediante diferentes técnicas de tipificación: genes conservados (gyrB, secA, rpoB, tuf, etc), MLST (Multilocus sequence typing), MLVA ( Multiple Locus Variable-number Tandem Repeat Analysis) y/o secuenciación de genoma completo
• Epidemiología de la resistencia frente a antimicrobianos y factores de virulencia para determinados patógenos bacterianos en diferentes escenarios nosocomial/comunitario. 

Estos objetivos se abordan desde la perspectiva de la taxonomía polifásica (taxonomía feno- y genotípica) combinada con el estudio del genoma completo para la asignación de género/especie y análisis filogenéticos. Conjuntamente se realizan análisis de viruloma y resistoma para determinadas especies bacterianas (ver publicaciones) y para contextos de brote en Salud Pública. 

La investigación de la infección invasiva por Streptococcus pyogenes y otros estreptococos beta-hemolíticos, se realiza a través del Programa de Vigilancia del Centro Nacional de Microbiología con el estudio de los linajes circulantes en nuestro país.  


Líneas de investigación

• Descripción de nuevos géneros y especies bacterianas con repercusión clínica. 
• Estudio del entorno taxonómico, de virulencia y resistencia a antimicrobianos de bacterias anaerobias multirresistentes de interés clínico.
• Filogenia, caracterización de mecanismos moleculares de resistencia y plataformas genéticas en Nocardia spp y géneros afines. 
 • Streptococcus pyogenes: elementos genéticos móviles protagonistas en la evolución de serotipos pandémicos M1 y M89 causantes de infecciones invasivas. 
• Identificación de los genotipos circulantes en España de Brucella melitensis y de nuevas líneas clonales.
• Caracterización genética de las neurotoxinas responsables de botulismo humano en España.

Información adicional

Los objetivos de investigación se focalizan en los ámbitos de la Taxonomía Bacteriana y de la Microbiología en Salud Pública:

- Identificación de bacterias patógenas de difícil asignación taxonómica
- Descripción de nuevas especies
- Estudio de la biología poblacional bacteriana mediante tipificación
- Epidemiología de la resistencia frente a antimicrobianos y factores de virulencia para determinados patógenos bacterianos en diferentes escenarios nosocomial/comunitario.

Estos objetivos se abordan desde la perspectiva de la taxonomía polifásica (taxonomía fenotípica y genotípica) mediante del estudio de dianas para la asignación de género/especie y análisis filogenéticos. El análisis del viruloma y resistoma de determinadas especies se aborda desde la perspectiva de la secuenciación de genomas completos.
La investigación de la infección invasiva por Streptococcus pyogenes y otros estreptococos beta-hemolíticos, se realiza desde 1994, a través del Programa de Vigilancia del Centro Nacional de Microbiología. La tipificación de las cepas invasivas de S. pyogenes que circulan en España incluye determinación de: el serotipo (emm-tipo); el perfil genético de exotoxinas pirogénicas estreptocócicas; el fenotipo de resistencia a antimicrobianos; y los genotipos de las cepas epidemiológicamente relacionadas y/o brotes.
