SUMMARY
During 2014 the Research Group on Infectious Diseases has developed projects related to new therapeutic options for multi-resistant bacterial infections, the epidemiology and therapy of tropical diseases in our country, with the epidemiology and prognosis of serious infections in immunocompromised patients and assessment of new strategies for antiretroviral treatment. Our group has published a great number of articles in indexed journals and has obtained more than 10 projects with competitive funding.
