TOULOUSE
I am microbiologist researcher at ANTABIO, a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery of novel drugs to treat and prevent antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
Before joining ANTABIO, I worked four years at the Hospital Vall d’Hebron from Barcelona in the Microbiology research group. As a member of REIPI (Spanish Network Research of Infectious Disease), my work was dedicated to the clinical research on nosocomial infections and multidrug resistant pathogens.
- PhD (Autonomous University of Barcelona):
Epidemiological and genetic characterization of CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strains from the Barcelona metropolitan area.
- Publications :
* Role of IncHI2 plasmids harbouring blaVIM-1, blaCTX-M-9, aac(6')-Ib and qnrA genes in the spread of multiresistant Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in different units at Hospital Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain.Int J Antimicrob Agents. 2012; 39(6):514-7
