Synopsis:
The evolution of multidrug resistance has limited our current therapeutic options by conferring resistance to virtually all classes of antibiotics currently available for the treatment of infectious diseases. I have extensively worked with molecular epidemiological study of these multidrug resistant bacteria carrying ESBLs and carbapenemases including, NDM-1 as well as VIM metallo-β-lactamase. Therefore, I am interested to study the processes by which multidrug resistance evolve and spread in bacterial populations. This study will provide us with valuable information regarding how multi-drug resistance evolve in pathogenic bacterial population.
