The Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI), carrying
out the basic research on infectious diseases and antimicrobial
resistances, is part of the core structure of ARFID.
Three major labs constitute the IDRI; the Molecular Microbiology
Lab, Animal Experiment Lab, and In vitro Research Lab.
In the Molecular Microbiology Lab, basic research on the
mechanism of antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology
are carried out.
In the Animal Lab, several animal models such as mouse
peritonitis and rabbit meningitis are developed and are
used for research on pathogenesis of infectious diseases
and treatment of them. In the In vitro Research Lab, in
vitro efficacies of antimicrobials are tested and biofilm
studies are carried out. These three labs of IDRI collaborate
organically when required. |
