Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Manuela Onori"
- Manuela Onori's recent research primarily focuses on the identification and characterization of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacterial infections in pediatric populations, particularly those with compromised health or specific medical conditions such as cystic fibrosis and oncological diseases
- Significant findings include the identification of rare MDR pathogens, such as VIM-1-like bacteria in oncohematological patients and novel assays for rapid detection of colistin-resistant strains, indicating an urgent need for improved diagnostic tools in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance
- Onori's work emphasizes the implementation of advanced diagnostic technologies, like T2 Magnetic Resonance Technology, that can swiftly identify bloodstream infections, addressing a crucial gap in the timely treatment of pediatric patients suffering from infections related to both bacterial and viral pathogens
