Our research group is studying the molecular biology, genetics, epidemiology, and virulence of the bacterial pathogen Clostridium difficile. Our main interests are the epidemiology, pathogenesis of C. difficile infections (using a mouse model), bacteriophages infecting C. difficile, and the role of antibiotics in susceptibility to C. difficile infections. We are also interested in riboswtich-mediated gene regulation and in the development of new antimicrobial agents.
