I am interested in antibiotic tolerance, persistence, and resistance for Klebsiella pneumoniae of animal origin, in particular for the acquisition and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae during environmental stress. I am also focusing on the Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in food production and the associated risk in food poisoning.
