Joany C. van Balen

Joany C. van Balen's research focuses on antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) and E. coli, examining their prevalence and spread in both animal and human populations. This work sits at the intersection of veterinary medicine and public health, looking at how bacteria and resistance traits move between pets, other animals, and their owners. The research combines molecular epidemiology (tracing the genetic relatedness of bacterial strains) with clinical and household-level studies.

Publication output has been intermittent over the last decade, with gaps in some years followed by a recent increase in 2022-2025.
