Key Research theme: Molecular biology of antibiotic resistant microbial pathogens; The Molecular Microbiology Research Theme focuses on understanding the molecular basis of the antibiotic resistant microbial pathogens. This involves characterisation of the virulence genes at the molecular level, how they acquire resistance genes (pathogen’s horizontal gene transfer) and analyse the mechanism by which these pathogenic microbes confer antimicrobial resistance. Further, the research theme involves developing the novel molecular methods; PCR based diagnostic methods for diagnosing the antibiotic resistant microbial pathogens at the early stage of their infectious diseases Application of molecular tools for diagnosis of microbial infectious diseases Understanding the molecular basis of regulatory pathways in microbial pathogens
