IMPROVED DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF RELEVANT FUNGI USING

HIGH THROUGHPUT TECHNOLOGY

Identification of Candida species in patients at high risk categories (SIDA, cancer,

newborn)
Objectives:
- Isolation of biological material in hospitalized patients
- Antifungal susceptibility of Candida strains isolated from different pathological
samples in nosocomial infections causing severe infections in patients with risk
categories
- New approaches to molecular diagnosis (Maldi-Tof, PCR, next-generation
sequencing etc)
- Resistance to therapy and genes involved in resistance to therapy
- Analysis of new pharmacological drugs for fungal infections
