Description of Research Interests
Main research areas include: (1) molecular epidemiological investigations and genetic analysis of both nosocomial and community-acquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This includes genotyping MRSA isolates using the most up to date techniques, toxin gene profiling and identification and characterisation of novel variants of the staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec); (2)identification of bacterial isolates causing microbial biofilm contamination of dental chair unit waterlines (DCWs) by comparative sequence analysis of a PCR amplified variable region of the 16S rDNA gene as part of a study to develop novel waterline cleaning systems to control biofilm contamination of DCWs
