OverviewAI-generated summary
Sun Hee Moon's research focuses on understanding and combating antimicrobial resistance, particularly in clinically significant pathogens. Her work has investigated mechanisms of resistance to novel antibiotics like cefiderocol in bacteria such as *Klebsiella pneumoniae* and *Acinetobacter baumannii*. These studies have identified genetic factors, including mutations in siderophore receptors and the activity of beta-lactamases, that contribute to treatment failure and the emergence of resistance.
Moon has also explored the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in environmental sources, such as fresh vegetables, highlighting potential pathways for transmission. Her investigations extend to the development of alternative therapeutic strategies, including the use of enzymatically-crosslinked hydrogels incorporating antimicrobial peptides and antibiotics for treating wound infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 22 with 47 publications and 984 citations, reflecting a significant body of work in this field. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including En Huang and Se‐Ran Jun.
