Research interests
My program uses molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques to better understand the biology and evolution of foodborne pathogens, and to develop improved methods of tracking the spread of these organisms from farm-to-fork.
We focus primarily on Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica. For E. coli, we have been interested in developing effective molecular subtyping methods for both epidemiologic investigations and for tracing the evolution of this organism. We recently reported on a cluster of genes, collectively referred to as Recombination Hot Spot (rhs) genes, which permitted the separation of certain O157:H7 strains by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) (Lui et al., 2009). We were funded in 2010 by the USDA-NIFA to sequence a large number of E. coli O157:H7 genomes with the goal of identifying additional sequence variations in a larger collection. We are also interested in the role bacteriophage, or bacteria viruses, have played in the evolution of E. coli O157:H7. Many virulence genes, including that for Shiga toxin, were acquired by bacteriophage transduction however these phage may also mediate the regulation of virulence genes as well.
Our work with Salmonella enterica is primarily directed at designing improved molecular subtyping methods for tracking outbreaks, in collaboration with Dr. Stephen Knabel’s laboratory (Penn State). We have been particularly interested in CRISPRs, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are elements shown in other organisms to mediate defense against foreign DNA including bacteriophage and plasmids. Because of their rapid evolution, we are investigating the utility of CRISPRs in MLST schemes for differentiating strains from the most common serovars of S. enterica. We are also interested in studying the mechanisms of CRISPR function and evolution in S. enterica.
