The lab studies infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, with the aim of preventing them.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying bacterial infections to prevent them.
The Infectious Disease Control Project Lab studies infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
It investigates the ability of these bacteria to cause disease (virulence) and continues epidemiological surveys of where and how much infection is occurring.
It also conducts clinical research to develop diagnostic and treatment methods for hard-to-treat respiratory infections.
The lab also provides clinical care in the University Hospital's departments of pediatrics and infectious diseases and its infection control division, and responds to consultations from inside and outside the university.
Key terms
- Haemophilus influenzae
- A bacterium that causes pneumonia, meningitis, and other illnesses in children. Despite its name, it is a different organism from the influenza virus.
- Conjugate vaccine
- A vaccine in which a carrier protein is attached to sugars on the bacterial surface, making it easier for infants and young children to develop immunity.
- Epidemiology
- The study of where, in whom, and how often diseases occur, used to understand their causes and how to prevent them.

The lab continues to analyze the virulence of Haemophilus influenzae and to conduct epidemiological surveys of infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It also carries out clinical research to develop diagnostic and treatment methods for hard-to-treat respiratory infections.
*Illustrative imageHaemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae
The lab studies the virulence of Haemophilus influenzae and the epidemiology of infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It analyzes the virulence factors of strains of types not included in conjugate vaccines, which have become a problem since those vaccines were introduced, with the aim of developing new methods of prevention.
