Microbiology and Diagnostic Microbiology	Maria Del Mar Lleo'Fernandez	Diagnostic microbiology; bacterial pathogenicity; microbial ecology; biofilm and antibiotic resistance
General and clinical microbiology	Marzia Boaretti	Bacterial physiology and genetics: studies on mechanism of bacterial growth and division; antibacterial activity of new antibiotics and mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics; evaluation of survival strategies adopted by bacteria of medical interest and possible genetic mechanisms involved in persistence in viable but not-culturable (VBNC) state; CF patients: identification and molecular typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from acute and chronic lung infection; evaluation of antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of biogenic selenium nanoparticles. Clinical microbiology: diagnosis of viral infections and/or reactivation in transplant and immunocompromised patients and diagnosis of viruses involved in central nervous system (CNS) infections.
Virology and Microbiology	Davide Gibellini	Research activity is focused on viral pathogenesis, diagnosis methods, and antiviral molecules.
