Microbial ecology of gastrointestinal bacterial infections

Vince Young Heisman

Research in the Young lab is directed at understanding the role of bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and how they influence the health status of the host. To this end, we study the role of what would traditionally be considered “pathogenic bacteria” in gastrointestinal illness, with a particular emphasis on Clostridium difficile . In addition, we also examine how the population structure of the indigenous GI microbiota can influence the host-pathogen interaction and how changes in the community structure of the indigenous microbiota itself can lead to pathogenic states. This research is being conducted both with material from human subjects as well as animal models of disease.
