OverviewAI-generated summary

Yasser M. Sanad's research focuses on the development and application of genotypic and phenotypic methods to investigate enteric bacterial pathogens. His work specifically examines the transmission dynamics, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance of these pathogens across food sources, food animals, and their production environments. Sanad also studies the public health implications and One Health strategies for controlling outbreaks of zoonotic diseases.

His recent publications include investigations into highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in dairy cattle, exploring transmission dynamics and milk-borne risks. He has also published on the genetic relatedness and virulence potential of *Salmonella Schwarzengrund* strains, as well as the distribution, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance of this serovar. Sanad's work extends to the antimicrobial effects of plant-based supplements on gut microbial diversity in small ruminants and the development of computational models for gene expression in *E. coli*.

Sanad has a publication record of 31 articles, with 626 citations and an h-index of 16. He collaborates with researchers from institutions including the National Center for Toxicological Research, the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He leads a research group focused on these areas of study.
