His research combines both molecular and pharmacological approaches to address the therapeutic challenges of treating multidrug resistant and highly virulent bacteria. To date, Dr. Yamaki’s research has focused on the epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridioides difficile, patient outcomes and host response in various types of infections caused by MRSA, and the effects of inadequate antibiotic dosing on virulence and disease severity.
