A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

Previously controlled bacterial infections can re-emerge due to antibiotic resistance or vaccine escape. Species of pathogenic bacteria comprise a huge amount of genotypic and phenotypic diversity. Our lab is interested in the diversity, evolution and epidemiology of bacterial pathogens and in the links between the genotypic and phenotypic (ecology, colonization, transmission, virulence, antibiotic resistance, immune response) diversity of the strains within particular species. We focus on three pathogens of high public health importance: Klebsiella pneumoniae, which causes various types of infections including urinary tract, respiratory and blood infections; Bordetella pertussis, the agent of whooping cough; and Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria. We use genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and immunological approaches as well as in-vivo and in-vitro models of infection. We also develop databases of bacterial genotypes and strain nomenclatures that facilitate global collaborative surveillance of bacterial pathogens.

MedVetKlebs: Klebsiella pneumoniae from ecology to source attribution and transmission control

Sylvain Brisse (PI)

Klebsiella pneumoniae (hereafter, K. pneumoniae) is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections such as urinary infections, pneumonia, bloodstream infections, infections in newborns and in intensive-care unit patients. Some hypervirulent strains also cause community infections […]

Population biology of the bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae

Sylvain Brisse (PI)

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most urgent threats to public health given its increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents including carbapenems, considered as last-resort antibiotics.  In this project we aim to understand the ecological, epidemiological and […]

Genomic databases for bacterial epidemiology, population biology and strain nomenclature

Sylvain Brisse (PI)

High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized our abilities to track and characterize novel bacterial strains as they emerge and disseminate globally. Genome-based typing systems are being developed to replace or complement classical epidemiological markers and have […]
