My main research interest is in invasive fungal infections, including molecular diagnostics, pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and antifungal therapies. Also, research into nosocomial infections including Clostridium difficile colitis. Other current research includes study of Escherichia coli bacteraemia focusing on pathogenic mechanisms, epidemiology and antibiotic resistance.

Project Title
 Evaluation of next generation sequencing to investigate the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection
From
September 2014
To
August 2017
Summary
A prospective study of C difficile infection in hospitalised patients using next generation sequencing as a tool to provide high level discrimination between strains. An additional theme will be investigation of the intestinal microbiota in selected patients with C difficile infection
