| Microbiology | Microbes are our greatest teachers in the study of nature. They serve as both agents of disease and cure and have catalyzed scientific progress in 鈥榤olecular鈥� life sciences. Harnessing the ability of microbes to adapt and persist in an ever-evolving world has the potential to solve many difficult biological problems including the host response to disease-causing pathogens. They can also be targeted as defensive and therapeutic strategy to reduce the risk of tumorigenesis. Estimate the disease burden caused by major enteric pathogens (Vibrio cholerae, enterotoxigenic E. coli, Salmonella species and Shigella species) as well as providing an updated result of their emerging antibiotic resistance in Bangladesh was my target of work at the Mucosal Immunology and Vaccinology Laboratory at ICDDR,B. Previous studies on enteric pathogens were conducted only in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. My thesis work was the first study conducted on samples from the whole country. The Mucosal Immunology and Vaccinology Laboratory is continuing this study with an aim to design a proper vaccine for the people of Bangladesh where regions with poor sanitation can still be found. |
