Juliette Severin

Dr. Juliette Severin is a Researcher at Erasmus Medical Center in the Department of Medical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Her work focuses on antimicrobial resistance, hospital infection control, and microbiological diagnostics, with particular expertise in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem resistance mechanisms.

Her research interests span several critical areas in medical microbiology and infection prevention:

• Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and detection
• Hospital infection control and prevention
• Outbreak investigation methodologies
• Medical device-related infections
• Microbiological diagnostic techniques
• Public health strategies against antibiotic resistance

Dr. Severin's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on practical applications of microbiological research in clinical settings, particularly addressing challenges in antimicrobial susceptibility testing, hospital outbreak management, and development of rapid diagnostic methods for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Her work on the WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List 2024 highlights her involvement in global health policy development.

Her scientific contributions include:

• Research on carbapenem antibiotic stability for susceptibility testing
• Studies on duodenoscope-associated infections
• Development of PCR assays for resistance gene detection
• Outbreak investigations of carbapenemase-producing pathogens
• Contributions to global antimicrobial resistance policy

Dr. Severin has supervised 6 students in her research work and maintains active collaborations across multiple institutions as evidenced by her extensive publication record of 107 research outputs.
