Major areas of expertise include bacteriology, molecular biology, antibiotic resistance, and pathogenic mechanisms of microbial infections. Primary interest is on food-born human pathogens of animal origin. His laboratory is using fundamental and contemporary approaches to study the ecology of Campylobacter jejuni in animal reservoirs, elucidate the mechanisms for the development, persistence, and transfer of antibiotic resistance, examine the molecular basis of pathogen-host interactions, and develop approaches to control infectious diseases. |
