Research areas
At SECTION OF MICROBIOLOGY, we are working to understand and exploit this immense adaptive potential of natural microbial communities using cutting-edge molecular techniques. Our research is based on a holistic perception of the microorganisms as integrated members of complex microbial communities shaped by their physico-chemical microenvironment, and by social community interactions.
Our research on complex microbial communities is conducted within four main topics:

The spread of plasmids carrying antimicrobial resistance or other undesirable functions has come under increased scrutiny in recent years.
Studies performed by our group have had a substantial contribution to our current knowledge on horizontal gene transfer in aquatic and terrestrial environments.
