Responsibilities

Supervision on the day-to-day routine of the NSR microbiology laboratory for detection and identification of streptococcal species causing infections including pneumococcal isolates. A major part involves phenotypical diagnostic methods, use of MALDI-TOF test and final using whole genome sequencing for species identification, clone relationship (MLST typing) and evaluation of resistance genes.
