Research lines Infectious sexual transmission diseases The microbiology laboratory of the Vall d'Hebron hospital has a unit dedicated to the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In this context, the VHIR microbiology group directs its priorities towards bacterial STIs (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium and Treponema pallidum). Our area of knowledge and research covers the following aspects: - Evaluation and quality control of new diagnostic techniques, specifically multiplexed molecular techniques and resistance tests for the diagnosis and screening of STIs. - Evaluation and quality control of new techniques for the study of susceptibility to antimicrobials in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. - Evaluation and quality control of new serological techniques for the control of syphilis. - Chlamydia trachomatis typing, specifically the serotypes responsible for lymphogranuloma venereum. - Development of typing techniques through sequencing for the different bacterial STIs, with the aim of: 1. Discriminate STI cases in our country with those described in other countries. 2. Discriminate grouped cases of STIs within our geographic area. 3. Detect clones of special epidemiological relevance.
