Research summary
AI-generated

Dixie F. Mollenkopf studies how antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes move through the environment, connecting wastewater, rivers, soil, wildlife, farm animals, pets, and humans (a 'One Health' approach). Much of the work involves sampling water, fish, deer, farm animals, retail meat, and clinical settings to track resistant Enterobacterales (a group of bacteria that includes E. coli and Salmonella) and genes conferring resistance to drugs like carbapenems and cephalosporins. This research is relevant to students interested in microbiology, environmental science, veterinary medicine, and public health surveillance of antimicrobial resistance.
