Investigating prevention methods for CA-MRSA infections in children through improved hygiene and immune response analysis our team studies the clinical and molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection, evaluates strategies for treatment and prevention, and examines mechanisms of virulence and host immune responses. With CA-MRSA posing a major source of morbidity in pediatric populations we aim to reduce its impact by identifying effective interventions that prevent infections and improve outcomes.
