OverviewAI-generated summary

Jacob M. Keck's research focuses on the study of microbial infections and disease, with a particular emphasis on antimicrobial resistance. His work investigates the emergence of resistance in bacteria, such as the treatment-emergent cefiderocol resistance in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii associated with insertion sequence IS Aba36. Keck also examines antifungal resistance and explores new therapeutic strategies, including combination therapies and emerging drug pipelines. He has published on the evaluation of antifungal stewardship initiatives and the use of novel antibiotic combinations for complex infections.

His publications also address the diagnosis and management of febrile conditions in patients with neutropenia. Keck collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Ryan K. Dare and Alina Viteri, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5 and 73 total citations across 8 publications.
