Professional Interests:
My research interests are focused on the epidemiology of emerging bacterial resistance, mechanisms and laboratory detection of antimicrobial resistance, with a particular interest in gram-negative organisms (e.g. Acinetobacter baumanii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Additional areas of interest are focusing on the early detection of blood stream infections, the evaluation of bacteremia/sepsis and the clinical impact of laboratory testing with regard to a cost-effective and clinically relevant management of the laboratory. Recent studies include the development and evaluation of novel diagnostic methods in clinical microbiology for the evaluation of sepsis.
