Modulation of Phage-Microbe interactions and Antimicrobial Resistance by Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles
Meta Kuehn
Duke University, USA
Prof. Meta Kuehn, director of graduate studies at Duke University, USA will join the First World Congress on Targeting Extracellular Vesicles.
Topic: Modulation of Phage-Microbe interactions and Antimicrobial Resistance by Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles
Prof. Kuehn will discuss their biochemical and genetic studies of the molecular specificity and downstream consequences of interactions between bacterial EVs, bacteriophage, and antibiotics.
This work elucidates an innate form of bacterial immunity to environmental factors and gives insight into the role of EVs in microbial community dynamics.
About Prof. Kuehn: The Kuehn Lab has research interests in Membrane Biochemistry, Microbial Pathogenesis Mechanisms of Toxicity, Host/Microbe Interactions, and Protein Secretion Mechanisms. Learn more.
