Research summary

En Huang's research focuses on food safety and microbiology, particularly on controlling harmful bacteria like antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli, Enterobacter, and Salmonella in food products using bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), antimicrobial peptides, and other natural compounds. The work also involves genomic analysis and DNA sequencing techniques to characterize bacteria, phages, and drug-resistance genes found in food and clinical samples. This research is relevant to students interested in food microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, and applied genomics for pathogen control.
