Research Interests
Characterization of plant pathogenic bacteria and their antibiotic resistance. Isolation and identification of antagonistic bacteria and characterization of the produced bioactive compounds, optimization of their production and activity. Possible application of these compounds in food industry (as preservatives or additives) and in the field of plant protection against microbial infections. Production of cell wall degrading enzymes by plant pathogenic bacteria. Siderophores production and pathogenicity of phytopathogenic bacteria. Biological control of plant pathogenic bacteria. Prevalence of human bacterial pathogens on fresh produce: biofilm production, antibiotic resistance and their control
