Using human microbiome data to improve pathogenesis and treatment of infectious diseases

IDSA kudos icon + IDSA

Precision microbiome engineering could be applied to vaccine delivery, immunology, drug-resistant infections, and post-surgical infections.

 

Specific research questions re pathogenesis and treatment:

 

- What aspects of the indigenous microbiota mediate colonization resistance against C. difficile, as well as other multi-drug resistant organisms such as carbapenamase-producing gram negative bacteria and vancomycin resistant enterococci?

- Determine optimal C. diff treatment to prevent relapse

The remaining questions allow you to outline in more detail the information needed to address your research question. The series of questions allow up to five entries. If you have more than five entries, please try to prioritize them and enter the remainder in the final field. When done, click Submit at the bottom. Yes
