OverviewAI-generated summary

Douglas D. Rhoads’ research focuses on the molecular and genomic analysis of pathogens, particularly in the context of livestock health. His work includes investigating the genomes of bacterial isolates from disease outbreaks in broilers, analyzing the diversity and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in enteric pathogens, and studying the molecular genomics of *Enterococcus cecorum* from sepsis outbreaks in broilers. Rhoads also explores the genetic basis for traits in livestock, such as SNP-based breeding for broiler resistance to ascites and the evaluation of correlated production traits.

His research extends to developing and applying molecular biology techniques. This includes creating simple and inexpensive methods for bacterial DNA extraction from environmental samples for PCR surveillance and microbiome analyses. Additionally, his work has investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying toxicological effects, such as reduced toxicity in *Centruroides vittatus* potentially resulting from altered gene expression and toxin production.

Rhoads holds the designation of a highly cited researcher. He has published over 115 works, accumulating more than 3,300 citations, and has an h-index of 27. His research network includes collaborators such as Adnan Alrubaye, Jeff Pummill, Andi Asnayanti, and Amer Hasan, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
