Advancing techniques for tracking and controlling environmental antibiotic resistance + fecal pollution
Project Summary
Environmental sources of antibiotic resistant bacteria have been linked to clinical infections. At the same time, fecal contamination is the most common cause for listing of waterways as 'impaired.' Two separate projects in our lab are working on advancing biomolecular techniques for source tracking and preventing the spread of harmful microbes in environmental systems. Research will take place in the field and laboratory to address these pressing water quality issues.
