Currently my work includes but not limited to molecular epidemiological studies of several nosocomial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The other area of my work include determining the role of hospital surface contamination in the spread of nosocomial pathogens and prevention using either disinfectancts or no-touch devices.
