Dr. Catherine Logue: Poultry Pathogen Research | Ep. 47

---

Season 1 Episode 47

---

Foodborne illnesses remain a significant public health concern. Therefore, foodborne pathogens from poultry and other food animals must be detected and characterized in order to understand transmission routes, implement prevention strategies, and protect consumer health. To achieve that, monitoring and tracking antimicrobial resistance is essential, since resistant pathogens can cause more severe illnesses and be harder to treat. In this episode, Dr. Catherine Logue discusses detecting and characterizing foodborne pathogens from food animal sources, especially E. coli and Campylobacter, and focuses on pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and the poultry industry, encompassing human and animal health.

“So we sort of cover the gamut [of research on pathogens] from isolating to detecting, characterizing, and sequencing them, and everything in between. We're really interested in what makes these things work." - Dr. Catherine Logue
