Title :
"From 1940 to Present: What Bacteria Tell Us About the Mechanisms of Phenotypic and Genotypic Changes"
Speaker:
Jue (Jade) Wang, PhD, Professor , Department of Bacteriology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Faculty Host: Mee-Ngan Frances Yap, PhD
Topic:
In this talk, I will discuss how we use a non-pathogenic Gram positive bacterium to elucidate mechanisms of mutations and phenotypic changes. I will focus on pathways conserved in many bacterial pathogens that underlie antibiotic resistance and antibiotic persistence.
