Research

The research activity of the Institute of Medical Microbiology recently includes mainly bacteriology.

Our Institute has different Researchgroups based on different topics:

- Introduction: The research group conducts both basic research and epidemiological studies on antibiotic resistance.

- Major fields: Fluoroquinolone-, Beta-Lactame- and Colistin-resistance, Gene expression analysis and Genom sequencing

- Members: Prof. Dr. Dóra Szabó, Dr. Béla Kocsis, Dr. Béla Kádár, Dr. Judit Domokos, Dr. Máté Gugolya, Dr. Dániel Gulyás

- Introduction, major fields: The main interests of this research group are Staphylococci and Streptococci, the members conduct epidemiological studies on antibiotic resistance, asymptomatic carriage, clonality and serotypes. Asymptomatic carriage of Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Neisseria meningitidis is also investigated. Antibacterial effects of synthesized peptides from MTA-ELTE Peptidkémiai Kutatócsoport is observed by this research group as well.

- Members: Dr. Orsolya Dobay, Dr. Andrea Horváth, Dr. Judit Sahin-Tóth, Dr. Annamária Huber

- Introduction: This research group observes relations between changes of microbiome and spread of antibiotic resistance and the role of microbiome in development and progression of infective and non-infective diseases.

- Major fields: Alternative treatment options for Clostiridum difficile infections, relation between bladder carcinoma and microbiome, Vascular wall microbiome composition, relation between Streptococcus agalactiae and human microbiome, acantholytic genodermatoses, Probiotics affecting the progression of lichen sclerosus

- Members: Prof. Dr. Dóra Szabó, Dr. Eszter Ostorházi, Dr. Máté Gugolya, Szilvia Kardos, Nóra Makra, Balázs Stercz, Dr. Alexandra Brunner, Dr. Dóra Plázár, Dr. Bálint Gergely Szabó, Isolde Joura, Dr. Mansour Bassel, Dr. László Hidi, Dr. Ádám Monyók
