The Kumar Lab is investigating molecular mechanisms underlying the function and regulation of RND pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both of these organisms are notorious for causing multidrug resistant infections in immunocompromised individuals. Using novel genetic tools, we are characterizing RND pumps of these two organisms in order to establish their clinical relevance. We are also interested in learning the mechanisms of regulation of RND gene expression in A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa, and are working towards a better understanding of various factors that play a role in their expression and thus the multidrug resistance of these organisms.
