Current Research being done at the Bacterial Detection & Subtyping Laboratory

• Rapid detection of food & water borne pathogens using a microchip sensor.
  
• Occurence and transmission of vancomycin resistant Enterococci & methicillin resistant Staphylococci in nosocomial infections.
  
  
  
• Quorum sensing by Legionella species.
  
• Use of a phage display library to construct receptors for specific binding of pathogenic bacteria.
  
• Rapid detection of microorganisms involved in bioterrorism.
