Research summary
AI-generated

Jose E. Pietri studies how disease-causing microbes like Salmonella interact with common household and disease-carrying insects, particularly cockroaches, bed bugs, and ticks. His work combines microbiology, genomics, and pest biology to understand how these insects acquire, carry, and spread pathogens, with implications for pest control and public health. Much of the recent work uses genomic and multi-omics tools to study infection at a molecular level.
