Margreet Vos

Prof. Margreet Vos serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases at Erasmus MC, where she specializes in healthcare-related infections. Her research program focuses on the epidemiology, prevention, and control of healthcare-associated infections, particularly those involving multidrug-resistant organisms.

Professor Vos's research interests center on infection control in healthcare settings, with particular expertise in Pseudomonas aeruginosa transmission, endoscopic procedure-related infections, and antimicrobial resistance. Her work spans clinical observational studies, molecular epidemiology using whole genome sequencing, and environmental surveillance of resistant pathogens. Key research areas include tertiary care infection prevention, duodenoscope-associated infections, and the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in healthcare environments.

Professor Vos has demonstrated significant research productivity with 259 publications including 231 articles, 11 book chapters, and 5 review articles. Her recent work (2025) shows strong focus on carbapenem-resistant organisms, endoscopic device safety, and environmental transmission pathways of resistant pathogens. The research demonstrates methodological diversity including prospective observational studies, outbreak investigations, and environmental sampling approaches.

Professor Vos has supervised 13 research projects, indicating her active role in mentoring the next generation of researchers in medical microbiology and infection control. Her collaboration network extends internationally as evidenced by multi-country research projects including the SAMPAN Consortium mentioned in her recent publications.
