Research Interests

Veterinary Clinical Microbiology

• My research focuses on the diagnosis, characterization and treatment of bacterial infections of domestic animals. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of organisms isolated from animals provides valuable insight into emerging problems of antimicrobial resistance and provides guidance in the clinical treatment of animals with bacterial disease.
