Mechanisms of Enterococcal Colonization and Genome Defense in the Intestine

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract
My lab studies the interface between bacteriophages and other mobile DNA elements in Gram-positive enterococci. This seminar will explore how the development of bacteriophage resistance in Enterococcus faecalis influences antibiotic resistance and intestinal colonization. In addition, I will discuss how E. faecalis communities use CRISPR/Cas as a native barrier to conjugative plasmid acquisition in the intestine.
