Biography

Dr. Patil’s research in the BPARS focuses on novel mechanisms of resistance to advanced generation cephalosporins and cephalosporin beta-lactam inhibitor combination antibiotics in P. aeruginosa. These questions are investigated with a combination of in vitro adaptive evolution, genetic engineering, genomic sequencing, gene expression analysis with RNA-seq, and analysis of clinical isolates.
