Research interests
Research in the Auchtung lab investigates how the GI microbiome limits infection with antibiotic-resistant pathogens, how resistance is disrupted following treatment with antibiotics, and how disruption can be mitigated or repaired with microbiometargeting therapies. Student projects use complementary models of the human GI microbiome (in vitro fecal bioreactors, humanized microbiota mice, microbe-enteroid co-culture) and multi-omic approaches to study microbe-microbe and host-microbe interactions
