Bacterial Infection Division Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A research division that studies enteric infections and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in Thailand starting from the pathogens.
AboutAbout the lab
Detecting and preventing infectious diseases in Thailand early
The Bacterial Infection Division studies enteric infections and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that occur in Thailand through pathogen detection and epidemiological investigation.
It is a division of the Japan–Thailand Research Collaboration Center on Emerging and Re-emerging Infections, and works with the Department of Medical Sciences of the Ministry of Public Health of the Kingdom of Thailand and the Division of Epidemiology of the Ministry's Department of Disease Control.
Targeting patients with severe diarrheal diseases, including cholera, the division is working on early detection of the causative pathogens and on developing testing methods and preventive measures.
It aims for its research results to be useful not only within Thailand but also for infectious disease control in neighboring Asian countries and Japan.
Key terms
- outbreak
- The occurrence of an infectious disease in a region or group at a higher level than usual
- real-time PCR
- A method that detects a pathogen by amplifying its genes and measuring how they increase
- next-generation sequencer (NGS)
- An instrument that reads the sequences of large numbers of DNA molecules at once
ResearchResearch themes
In Thailand, enteric infections caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other agents occur routinely, and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are also a problem. The division studies rapid detection of pathogens, monitoring of how infectious diseases occur, and responses based on epidemiological investigation.
*Illustrative imageDetecting pathogens early
The division detects pathogens early and identifies them quickly and accurately using bacterial culture, real-time PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). It aims to strengthen the capacity to respond to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
*Illustrative imageEpidemiological investigation of outbreaks
Through epidemiological investigation of outbreaks and genome analysis of the causative microorganisms, the division works to identify the sources and routes of infection and the key pathogens. By understanding the factors involved in the onset of diarrheal disease and in cluster outbreaks of diarrhea, it is expected to help establish effective intervention methods.
