The Jorth Laboratory works to understand how microbes evolve during chronic infections to resist therapeutic treatment and affect the immune system.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa)_ causes lifelong chronic infections in people with cystic fibrosis. The Jorth Lab has shown that _P. aeruginosa_ diversifies during these infections into genetically complex populations that can include antibiotic resistant and susceptible bacterial siblings. These mixed populations likely contribute to treatment failure. By using the latest genomic and imaging tools, the Jorth Lab seeks to better understand how mutant bacteria evolve during these infections with the ultimate goals of identifying novel targets and developing new treatments to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria.
