Research Interests
My program uses molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques to better understand the biology and evolution of foodborne pathogens, and to develop improved methods of tracking the spread of these organisms from farm-to-fork.
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a foodborne pathogen that causes illness through mechanisms that include the elaboration of an AB5 protein called Shiga toxin. When I joined Penn State in 2007, the research community was just beginning to use genomic techniques to define the phylogeny of global isolates and to explain the heterogeneity observed in terms of virulence potential and toxin production. I took this opportunity to develop a program investigating the factors driving differences in toxin production using whole genomic analysis (mainly in collaboration with Dr. Mark Eppinger at the University of Texas-San Antonio), investigation of polymorphisms encoded within bacteriophage that carry the Shiga toxin genes, and interactions with members of the gut microflora. Most notably, we have found that certain strains categorized as low toxin producers synthesize high levels of toxin when co-cultured with other commensal strains of E. coli. We have also shown that inoculation of mice with such co-cultures causes more serious disease than inoculation with the pathogen alone. Future work is directed at better understanding the mechanisms behind these observations.
We are proudly a member of the US Food and Drug Administration's GenomeTrakr program, representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This program is a collaboration between Penn State and the PA Department of Health. Our goal is to help populate the whole genome sequence databases with foodborne isolates, particularly E. coli and Salmonella from food and environmental sources, and to help organizations such as our Department of Health and the food industry to gain the knowledge needed to enter this field or to gain the knowledge necessary to benefit from advances in genomic sciences.
In 2007, several high profile papers described the function of elements first discovered in bacterial genomes 30 years earlier, called CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). These manuscripts and those that followed elegantly described how CRISPR is an adaptive immune system for prokaryotes designed to protect cells against foreign DNA including bacteriophage and plasmids. We were some of the first to recognize that these rapidly evolving elements could be used as molecular signatures for strain identification during foodborne outbreaks. We have studied CRISPR diversity primarily in Salmonella enterica, with additional work in Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli. We have demonstrated their utility in molecular subtyping, and for the development of rapid methods of pathogen identification. More recent (unpublished) work has begun to elucidate the function of CRISPR in S. enterica, as it becomes more apparent that CRISPR has functions outside of those of immunity.
