Microbiology

The Microbiology research group of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) focuses on the study of microbiological aspects —in basic, translational and clinical research— that could improve the outcome of patients with infectious diseases.

Our priority research areas are:

Microbiological surveillance of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
- Diseases due to viral infections of the respiratory tract
- Microorganisms that cause vaccine-preventable diseases
- Infectious diseases of sexual transmission
Antimicrobial resistance
Sepsis
Development and validation of rapid microbiological diagnostic devices.
International Health
Hepatitis

We actively collaborate with other microbiology laboratories, health services, national and international centres and organizations, as well as with the different research networks of the Carlos III Health Institute in Spain.

In addition, we carry out an important activity in the surveillance of the genotypic and phenotypic evolution of microorganisms present in the community in terms of their virulence, transmissibility, antigenic escape and antimicrobial resistance, in collaboration with public administrations, both at the national and international level.
