OverviewAI-generated summary
Ahmed F. Hikal's research focuses on microbial infections and host-pathogen interactions, with recent work investigating resistance mechanisms in bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He has explored the role of specific genes, like *grdA* and *pco*, in conferring resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals, respectively. His work also extends to developing and testing vaccines for animal diseases, including the use of ferret models for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis vaccines. Hikal has examined mycological causes of mastitis in dairy cattle and the broader context of brucellosis eradication in different global regions. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 12 total publications and 143 citations. He has collaborated with several researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Ashraf A. Khan, Steven L. Foley, Kidon Sung, and Khulud Alotaibi.
