Molecular Pathogenic Bacteriology Lab (Bacteriology)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the mechanisms of drug resistance and pathogenicity in pathogenic bacteria.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring bacterial infections through virulence factors and resistance.
The Molecular Pathogenic Bacteriology (Bacteriology) Lab studies the virulence factors and drug resistance mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria that cause problems in healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections.
Its subjects include Staphylococcus species including MRSA, Streptococcus species, Enterobacteriaceae species such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and glucose non-fermenting bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In addition to basic bacteriological analysis, the lab also makes use of genetic analysis and proteome analysis.
The lab aims to produce results that contribute to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of bacterial infections.
Key terms
- Virulence factor
- Any of the various bacterial elements involved when bacteria infect a host and cause disease
- Drug resistance
- The property by which antibacterial drugs become less effective against bacteria. The underlying mechanisms are called drug resistance mechanisms
- Proteome analysis
- An analytical method for comprehensively examining the proteins that bacteria possess
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming for results that contribute to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of bacterial infections, the lab investigates pathogenic bacteria that cause problems in infectious diseases. It studies virulence factors and drug resistance mechanisms using bacteriological analysis, genetic analysis, proteome analysis, and other methods.
