Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sara Guiducci"
- Sara Guiducci's recent research primarily focuses on the immune response to respiratory infections, particularly human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), and the implications for vulnerable populations, such as young children and older adults.
- Another key area of her work involves the epidemiological surveillance of Neisseria meningitidis group B, emphasizing the importance of molecular typing for understanding invasive diseases and predicting vaccine coverage.
- Guiducci has also investigated the diagnostic efficacy of culture versus real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in invasive meningococcal disease, assessing whether culture may overlook less severe cases that still pose significant health risks.
