Host – Kate Baker

People with chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis and COPD are highly susceptible to bacterial infection. Clinically, these infections are very difficult to manage and as such many of them result in chronic infections lasting years. Over the course of these long-term infections, the bacteria diversify and adapt to both the lung environment and the antibiotics used to treat them. I will describe our work using genomics and transcriptomics to capture these processes and how they are changing our fundamental understanding of lung infections.
