Scientific activity
The main activity of her research is aimed at studying Gram-positive bacteria, in particular: i) study of streptococcal bacteriocin-like inhibitory activity against potential pathogens: bacteriocin production by deferred antagonism test and characterization of their genetic elements and oral microbiome; ii) screening and use of microorganisms in the prevention of infections of the upper respiratory tract. In particular, research is directed to the use of a strain of S.salivarius 24SMBc for use in the prevention of acute otitis chronic pediatric. In particular, the study including the characterization of strains producing bacteriocins by inhibition assays evaluated with the deferred antagonism test, adhesion test cell lines, characterization of the genetic elements that carry genes involved in the production of bacteriocins;iii) molecular mechanisms responsible for antibiotic resistance in Gram-positive bacteria; iv) characterization of genetic elements such as transposons, plasmids carrying resistance determinants and their mobility by conjugation and transformation; iv) molecular identification of pathogens (S. pyogenes and S.pneumoniae) directly from biological samples by use of platforms for Real Time–PCR and identification of virulence genes and expression studies using real-time PCR; v) Within the project PON collaborates with c-Lab, Materials and Microsystems Laboratory (Polytechnical Collage of Turin) and FBK-Bruno Kessler Foundation, Center for Materials and Microsystems Biofunctional Surfaces and Interfaces (Trento) for the development of microfluidic modules (LOC) for the implementation of PCR and real-time PCR to be used for automated molecular diagnostics based on Lab-on-chip. She characterized the genetic elements carrying mef(A) responsible for macrolide resistance, Tn1207.1, Tn1207.3 in S.pneumoniae and S.pyogenes, mega element in S.salivarius and phage phi1207.3 in S.pyogenes (GenBank accession no AF227520; AF227521; AY657002; FJ236311, AY657002).
