We have strong groups working on zoonotic pathogens, such as Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella.
Techniques used include: pathogen culture and diagnostic identification methods, PCR and transcriptomic and genomic technologies, including metagenomics, resequencing and genotyping cell separation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, proteomics and infection models.
