Joan-Miquel Balada-Llasat

This researcher works in clinical microbiology, focusing on how bacterial and fungal infections are diagnosed and treated in hospital settings, including antibiotic resistance testing, rapid molecular diagnostic tools, and outbreak or infection epidemiology. Much of the work involves evaluating laboratory tests (such as molecular panels and mass-spectrometry identification methods) for their accuracy and cost-effectiveness in real clinical situations, alongside studies of resistant organisms like Clostridioides difficile, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. This research is relevant to students interested in medical microbiology, infectious disease diagnostics, and antimicrobial resistance.

Publication output has declined from about 9 papers per year in 2017-2018 to roughly 3-4 per year in recent years, suggesting a slowing pace of output over the past decade.
