Effect of bacteriophage resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae on susceptibility to other phages
2021 - present
Researchers have observed that gaining resistance to phages can result in other changes. Some have observed reduction in drug resistance. If this is the case, then it may be possible that gaining resistance to one phage, may make the cell more susceptible to other phages. In this study, I aim to see what effect phage resistance has on K. pneumonaie to its susceptibility to other phages.

Isolation and functional analysis of bacteriophage insensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants
Isolation and functional analysis of bacteriophage insensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants
2018 - 2019
Phage therapy is considered one alternative to antibiotics as more disease causing bacteria become drug-resistant. However, we now know that bacteria can also become resistant to phages. In this study we analyze bacteriophage resistant K. pneumonaie mutants behave when introduced into mice.
