Infection Control Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores at the molecular level how bacterial infection can be suppressed.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how bacterial infection is suppressed.
The Infection Control Lab, part of the Department of Genome-Based Drug Discovery at the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University, studies the mechanisms that suppress bacterial infection.
In relation to the host's immune function, it investigates the molecular mechanisms that control bacterial infection.
It also analyzes how antibiotic-resistant bacteria isolated in clinical settings acquire resistance, and the strategies bacteria use to adapt to and survive harsh environments.
Another focus is how natural compounds with antimicrobial activity act on bacteria.
Key terms
- Host
- The organism that a bacterium or other pathogen infects. It responds to infection through immune function.
- Antibiotic-resistant bacteria
- Bacteria that have become less susceptible to antimicrobial drugs.
- Antimicrobial activity
- The ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, or to kill them.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates, at the level of molecular mechanisms, how bacterial infection can be suppressed, in relation to the host's immune response. It studies the resistance mechanisms of antibiotic-resistant bacteria isolated in clinical settings, the survival strategies of bacteria adapting to harsh environments, and the antibacterial action of natural compounds.
