Drug-Resistant Bacteria Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the genomes and spread of resistant bacteria that antibiotics cannot kill.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how resistant bacteria spread through their genomes.
As a division of the Japan-Thailand Joint Research Center for Infectious Diseases, the lab studies resistant bacteria that antibiotics cannot kill.
Its central focus is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics, regarded as last-resort drugs for intractable infections.
With the cooperation of core hospitals in Thailand and Myanmar, the lab collects clinical isolates of CRE and sequences their genomes.
Using the resulting information, the lab aims to clarify how CRE acquire drug resistance genes and how they spread.
Key terms
- Carbapenem antibiotics
- A class of antibiotics regarded as last-resort drugs for intractable infections.
- CRE
- Bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae that are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics. They are also resistant to many other antibiotics, which makes treatment difficult.
- Molecular epidemiology
- A method that uses molecular information such as genomes to trace how resistant bacteria have been transmitted.
ResearchResearch themes
Antibiotics have saved many lives from various infectious diseases, but the emergence of resistant bacteria has become a serious problem in clinical practice. The lab focuses on carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics.
