Research summary

Brian M. M. Ahmer studies the bacterium Salmonella and related gut bacteria, focusing on how they sense their environment and communicate with other microbes to control genes involved in infection. His work often examines specific regulatory proteins (like SdiA and CsrA) that help these bacteria detect signals from neighboring bacteria and adjust their behavior, including traits linked to causing disease and forming protective biofilms.
