Infection and Immunity

Fighting the battle against bacterial infection.

This research program links basic research on bacterial genetics with new approaches to investigating risks for infections with antibiotic resistant organisms.

This research focuses on a range of bacterial infections such as those due to MRSA and multiply resistant Gram negative organisms, as well as collaborations on the  development of new antibiotics to treat these threats.
