OverviewAI-generated summary

Abhinav Upadhyay's research focuses on food safety, particularly the interactions between hosts and pathogens. His work investigates non-antibiotic strategies for controlling foodborne pathogens in food animals, processing environments, and finished food products. These strategies include the use of phytochemicals, probiotics, and bacteriophages.

His laboratory employs a range of methodologies, including traditional and molecular microbiology, transcriptomics, microbiome analysis, and metabolomics. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of host physiology and pathogen behavior. Upadhyay has published extensively on these topics, with a significant body of work dedicated to plant-derived antimicrobials and their effects on pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Campylobacter jejuni. His research has explored the mechanisms by which these compounds inhibit bacterial growth, biofilm formation, and the expression of virulence factors.

Additionally, Upadhyay has contributed to reviews on antibiotic resistance in poultry systems. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26, with over 115 publications and more than 2,100 citations. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher and maintains an active lab website. His collaborations include work with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Samuel B. Fernandes, Rohana Liyanage, Xiaolun Sun, and Mohit Bansal.
