Research focuses on bacterial diseases of production animals. The long-term goal of one such project is to establish the molecular basis of virulence of avian Escherichia coli, the causative agent of colibacillosis, an economically devastating problem for this country's poultry industry. Other projects use molecular approaches to study the virulence of various E. coli causing disease in cattle and mink and antimicrobial resistance in salmonellae of pigs. |
