The participant will learn techniques required for the analysis of the genomes of multidrug resistant bacterial species, to include Enterococcus spp. Staphylocuccus spp., Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp., and Escherichia coli. Multidrug resistant organisms in deployed environments can compromise military service members' medical readiness. The research project designed for the participant selected will be centered around strategic implementation of several bioinformatics tools to ascertain the global dissemination of these antibiotic resistant bacteria. Global surveillance of these organisms has been implemented across the entire military healthcare system in the US and abroad. With sufficient learning and advancement, the participant will be challenged to develop new and innovative methods for analyzing bacterial DNA.
Under the guidance of a mentor, the ORISE participant will establish a fundamental understanding of translational, military-relevant scientific research. The fellow will be highly encouraged to begin expanding their network of scientific colleagues and seek collaborations within the Department of Defense, academia, and commercial companies.
