The focus of some research groups is the identification and characterization of micro-organisms involved in bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infectious diseases as well as the molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and host-micro-organism interactions. Research topics include: microbiome, mechanisms of antimicrobial/antiviral resistance, functional diversity and adaptive potential of natural microbial communities, in vivo models of infections, genome sequencing and real time biofilm formation.
