Main Teaching activity: Microbiology and veterinary immunology course; infectious diseases of animals course—Degree in Veterinary Medicine. Infectious diseases prophylaxis course—Degree in Animal Production, Game Management and Wildlife Conservation. Fields of research: Molecular microbiology, especially in bacterial virulence and in microbial diagnostics. Research interests have mainly been directed to occurrence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, in particular E. coli and staphylococcus spp.; investigations of antibacterial activity of non-antibiotic products (chitosan membranes, silver nanoparticles, oils, honey, etc.); phenotypic and genotypic characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in clinical strains of Enterobacteriaceae; development and application of bio-molecular tests in clinical microbiology; studies about intestinal and mammary microbiota.
