Microbiology Laboratory

The Microbiology Laboratory conducts interdisciplinary research on microbial physiology, antimicrobial resistance, and host–microbe interactions, with a focus on pathogens of medical, veterinary, and environmental significance. Our work involves the isolation and characterization of bacteria from diverse sources to investigate their virulence traits, stress responses, and resistance profiles. We study lactic acid bacteria and actinomycetes for their antimicrobial potential, explore bacterial adaptation to biotic and abiotic stressors, and apply molecular, phenotypic, and in silico approaches to understand microbial evolution, resilience, and adaptation.
