• First of all it is necessary to stand out have managed reproduce an animal model of serious pneumo- nia in porks ventilated mechanically for S . pneumoniae serotipo 19 a . This model is going to be very important in next year for translational studies .
• We have signed and closed 4 contracts with international industries for studies in our animal model of S . aeruginosa and MRSA (Medimmune, Cardeas, Theravance and Cubist) .
• We have obtained a Juan de la Cierva-Ciber contract for Dr. Catia Cillóniz, member of the group. Dr. Gianluigi Li Bassi, member of the group as well, is continuing with his Juan de la Cierva-Ciber contract .
• Our group has been qualified as the first one of 34 groups of the Ciber of Respiratory of last 3 years.
• Dr Antoni Torres, chief of the group, has been honored by the ICREA Acadèmia 2014 Program for excellence in research in the area “Life & Medical Sciences” by the University of Barcelona .
