Healthcare plumbing systems, including drains and toilets, can harbor anti-microbial resistant bacteria, posing a significant risk to patient safety. This seminar will explore the microbiology of these reservoirs, their role in pathogen transmission, and strategies to mitigate these risks. Using tools such as epidemiology, microbiome analysis, and whole-genome sequencing, we will examine how understanding these microbial ecosystems can inform innovative infection prevention approaches in healthcare environments.
Please see individual SLC Member invites from Dr. Megan Lott regarding topics for discussion at each meeting. SLC Journal Club meetings are for SLC Members and conducted by SLC Members.
This talk will present hypotheses based on field data on potential ecological and physiological mechanisms underpinning the persistence and proliferation of the drinking water microbiome. These insights necessitate the development of novel approaches for holistic monitoring and management of the drinking water microbiome. This talk will also highlight ongoing work on the development of low-cost optical-and DNA sequencing-based methods for real-time and quantitative characterization of microbial communities in drinking water systems.
