OverviewAI-generated summary

Douglas D. Rhoads' research focuses on molecular genomic analyses of bacterial pathogens, particularly in the context of poultry health and disease. His work investigates the diversity and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in enteric pathogens, as well as the molecular genomics of *Enterococcus cecorum* from sepsis outbreaks in broilers. He has also explored methods for assessing the virulence of bacterial isolates, such as using embryo lethality assays for *Chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis* in broilers.

Additional research areas include SNP-based breeding for broiler resistance to ascites and evaluating correlated production traits. Rhoads has also contributed to the development of simple, inexpensive methods for bacterial DNA extraction from environmental samples for PCR surveillance and microbiome analyses. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 27, 115 total publications, and 3,416 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He collaborates with multiple colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Adnan Alrubaye, Jeff Pummill, Andi Asnayanti, and Amer Hasan.
