Automated DNA sequencing aids in understanding microbial diseases and pathogen behavior. Genomic data offers insights into microbial virulence and potential vaccine development, like for Haemophilus influenzae.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology and Genomics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Vaccine Development

Background:

  • Microbial diseases are a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity.
  • Automated DNA sequencing provides cost-effective access to vast genomic information of pathogenic microbes.
  • Understanding pathogen biology, including commensal and virulence behaviors, is crucial for developing new prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of whole-genome sequencing data in understanding microbial pathogenesis.
  • To investigate the role of Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysaccharide in virulence.
  • To evaluate Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysaccharide as a potential vaccine candidate.

Main Methods:

  • Whole-genome sequencing of pathogenic microbes.
