María Consuelo Gazitúa's research focuses on microbial ecology, studying communities of bacteria and other microorganisms and how they interact with plants, environments, and each other. Her work includes examining how soil microbes help plants colonize harsh environments like mine tailings, as well as genomic studies of bacteria and the mobile genetic elements (plasmids) they carry, which can spread traits like antibiotic resistance.
