Research interest
My main activities are related to paediatric infectious diseases. During my Ph.D. studies, I was working on genetic diversity, pathophysiology and antibiotic resistance of Kingella kingae, which is the first pathogen of osteoarticular infections in young children. Of note, we have evidenced some phenotype-genotype correlations and developed an animal model of virulence. I am interested in the description of the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological features of viral (respiratory viruses) and bacterial infections in children, such as invaisve pneumococcal diseases, bacteremia, meningitis, bone and joint infections, urinary tract infections. I am involved in the description and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in children and in the treatment of such infections.
