Research areas:

Area of interest are fundamental and applied research in microbiology, primarily research of antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities of marine ecosystems, characterization of the mechanisms and pathways of gene transfer resistance, with special emphasis on β-lactamases.

Research description:

The scientific interests of the group are fundamental and applied research in microbiology. The incidence/prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities of marine ecosystems, characterization of resistance mechanisms and modes of transmission, with particular focus on beta-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae and genera Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Burkholderia and Chryseobacterium are being investigated. Research involves isolation of bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics, biochemical and molecular identification of resistant strains, their determination of phenotypic susceptibility to antibiotics, implementation of phenotypic assays for beta-lactamase production, and the characterization of resistance genes. The regulation of outer membrane proteins – porins as hereditary mechanism of antibiotic resistance is also being investigated. In addition, the group is studying the antimicrobial activity of different biologically active compounds from plants of the Mediterranean region, endemic species in particular, against the strains of opportunistic pathogens resistant to commercially available antibiotics, for the purpose of their potential use in pharmacy.

CONTACTS WITH ACADEMIC AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS:

– The Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences, Split, Croatia
– Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia

DESCRIPTION OF PREVIOUS COLLABORATION:

The study of molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities of marine ecosystems, particularly human pathogenic bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae and genera Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Burkholderia and Chryseobacterium.

FUTURE RESEARCH PLANS:

Continuation of the research of the mechanisms of bacterial resistance in the environment
