Detalii:
Cele mai multe cercetari si cele mai semnificative rezultate au fost obtinute in domeniul microbiologiei sanitare. Timp de zece ani am studiat raspandirea tipurilor de Escherichia coli (E. coli) in mediul ambiant si rolul lor ca surse de infectie pentru animale si om. Cercetarile au permis cunoasterea serotipurilor cu rol in patologia animala si cea umana si punerea in evidenta a rezistentei la antibiotice determinata de factori episomali, transmisibila de la E.coli la Salmonella. O alta cercetare, finalizata cu rezultate importante pentru sanatatea publica, o reprezinta stabilirea conditiilor de inactivare a germenilor patogeni din dejectiile de la animale supuse fermentarii metanice in statiile de biogaz. In ultimele doua decenii, devenind conducator de doctorat si largindu-se colectivul de cercetare, a fost extinsa si aria tematica, astfel ca pe langa cercetarile de microbiologie sanitara, au fost efectuate cercetari de igiena animalelor, urmarindu-se mai ales pastrarea sanatatii animalelor si prevenirea transmiterii de boli de la animale la om. Au fost elaborate si omologate metode noi de decontaminare si de dezinsectie a adaposturilor de animale si a fost semnalat pentru prima data in tara parazitismul cu Cimex columbarius in fermele de gaini, fiind stabilita si metoda de eradicare. Dupa anul 2000, beneficiind de conditii superioare in ce priveste dotarea laboratoarelor, a crescut gradul de implicare a cadrelor didactice la rezolvarea unor cerinte din programele nationale de prevenire si de combatere a bolilor la animale, in paralel cu amplificarea cercetarii si creatiei stiintifice aplicative. Printr-o mai buna colaborare cu specialisti din Institutul Pasteur si din Institutul de Diagnostic si Sanatate Animala din Bucuresti, au fost concepute o serie de produse de uz veterinar cu insusiri superioare si au fost elaborate procedee noi, care au fost brevetate, omologate si aplicate in toata tara. Dintre produsele si procedeele mai deosebite, care au fost omologate oficial si aplicate in practica medicala veterinara, pot fi mentionate: vaccinul viu contra tricofitiei enzootice a taurinelor (transmisibila la om) - Tricovac, produsele terapeutice Tricosan si Saliderm, produsele antimicrobiene Santim, Hexidet, Forsept, Germostop, testul alergic cu tricofitina pentru testarea imunitatii antitricofitice la taurine, procedeele de control a eficientei dezinfectiilor: testul microbiologic de teren (TMT), testul bacteriilor coliforme, testul stafilococilor si altele.
Ca urmare a extinderii colectivului de cercetare si a imbunatatirii dotarii laboratoarelor, am initiat si coordonat constituirea Centrului de Cercetari de Igiena si Patologie Animala (CCIPA) si apoi a Platformei de Formare si Cercetare Interdisciplinara (PFCI)"Agricultura ecologica, durabila si siguranta alimentara" si a unor forme de invatamant postuniversitar: masteratul de Igiena si Epidemiologie Veterinara si specializarea postuniversitara Managementul sanatatii animalelor. Cea mai recenta cercetare, initiata in cursul anului precedent si aflata in derulare, o reprezinta studiul biofilmului microbian in relatie cu igiena si siguranta produselor alimentare, care este finantata de CNCSIS prin Programul Idei. Rezultatele deja obtinute lasa sa se intrevada necesitatea unor schimbari importante in conduita examenului de laborator al fluidelor si in combaterea microbismului din industria alimentara.

Details:
Most of the research and the most significant results were obtained in the field of sanitary microbiology. For 10 years, we have studied the types of Escherichia coli (E. coli)present in the environment and their role as infection sources in humans and animals. The research allowed us to establish those serotypes that play a role in the animal and human pathology, and to point out their resistance to antibiotics, determined by episomal factors, transmissible from E. coli to Salmonella. Another research, which delivered important results for the public health sector, is the establishment of the conditions for deactivating the pathogenous germs from animal dejections undergoing methane fermentation in biogas stations. In the last two decades, after becoming a PhD supervisor and enlarging the research team, the theme area has also been enlarged and thus, besides sanitary microbiology studies, research regarding animal hygiene was carried out,focusing especially on preserving animal health and preventing disease transmission from animals to humans. New methods for animal shelter decontamination and disinfestations were elaborated and homologated. The presence of the Cimex columbarius parasitism in poultry farms was signalled for the first time in Romania and the eradication method was also determined. After the year 2000, the laboratories benefited from higher standard equipment, thus ensuring an increase in the number of teaching staff involved in solving some requirements of the national programs regarding animal disease prevention and fighting, as well as extending the research and the applied scientific creation activities.
Through a better cooperation with specialists from the Pasteur Institute and the Institute for Diagnostic and Animal Health, Bucharest, a series of veterinary products with superior characteristics were conceived and special proceedings were developed, which were nationwide brevetted, homologated and applied. Among the more special products and proceedings we mention: the live vaccine against the enzootic bovine ringworm (transmissible to humans) -Tricovac, therapeutic Tricosan and Saliderm products, antimicrobial Santim, Hexidet, Forsept, Germostop products, the allergy test with tricophytin for the testing of antitricophytic immunity in bovines, proceedings of disinfestations efficiency control: the microbiologic field test (TMT), the coliform bacteria test, the staphylococcus test and so on. As a result of the enlargement of our research team and the improved laboratory equipment, we initiated and coordinated the foundation of the Animal Hygiene and Pathology Research Centre (CCIPA) and then the interdisciplinary Formation and Research Platform (PFCI) "Ecologic, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Safety", as well as some postgraduate studies: master in Veterinary Hygiene and Epidemiology and the postgraduate specialization Animal Health Management. The most recent research, initiated last year and still in progress, is that of the microbial biofilm study in relation to hygiene and food products safety, financed by CNCSIS through the Idea Programme. The results we have obtained until now indicate the necessity of important changes in the manner in which fluid laboratory exams are conducted and in the fighting of microbism in the food industry.
