Her work focuses on antibiotic tolerance mechanisms and host-pathogen interactions\, with the aim of identifying therapeutic approaches to improve bacterial clearance. \nBelow is a summary of his presentation. \nDifficult to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections: from mechanisms to therapeutics \nBacterial infections that are refractory to antibiotic treatment lead to poor health outcomes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen that causes a multitude of difficult-to-treat human infections\, both acute and chronic. P. aeruginosa not only displays intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics\, but also antibiotic tolerance and host-evasion strategies. The Nguyen lab investigates bacterial mechanisms and host-pathogen interactions that contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic airway infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis\, as well as novel therapeutic approaches to improve P. aeruginosa clearance.

We have developed a mouse model of alcohol exposure at the pre-implantation stage (8 cells)\, which results in fetal growth retardation and brain malformations. These effects are accompanied by major perturbations in DNA methylation and gene expression in the embryonic brain\, associated with altered migration of certain neuron types and long-term behavioral deficits.
