Molecular Approaches and MetaGenomic Investigations for optimizing Clean-up of PAH contaminated sites (MAGICPAH)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
"MAGICPAH aims to explore, understand and exploit the catalytic activities of microbial communities involved in the degradation of persistent PAHs. It will integrate (meta-) genomic studies with in-situ activity assessment based on stable isotope probing particularly in complex matrices of different terrestrial and marine environments. PAH degradation under various conditions of bioavailability wi ...

Development of a two-approach plate system for the fast and simultaneous detection of MDR and XDR M. tuberculosis (FAST-XDR-DETECT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
Tuberculosis (TB) continues being a leading cause of death due to a single infectious disease agent. The HIV/AIDS pandemic and the emergence of drug resistance are compounding factors that hinder the control of the disease. Associated with this problem is the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, defined as strains resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampi ...

LATENT TUBERCULOSIS: New tools for the detection and clearance of dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (STOPLATENT-TB)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
Although the definition of latency under a clinical point of view seems clear, the bacterial biology behind that clinical situation remains poorly understood. While dormant, the tubercle bacilli are considered to be under non-replicating (NR) stage. In such a condition, bacilli are not only difficult to be detected but also refractory to the standard treatments avoiding their clearance from the in ...
