Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jacob M. Keck's research focuses on antimicrobial resistance and the development of new therapeutic strategies. His work has investigated treatment-emergent resistance to cefiderocol in carbapenem-resistant *Acinetobacter baumannii*, linking this resistance to the insertion sequence IS *Aba36* within the siderophore receptor *pirA*. Keck also examines antifungal resistance and the evaluation of antifungal stewardship initiatives, including the use of micafungin. His recent publications explore the challenges and approaches to managing fever in neutropenic patients, the emergence of resistance to new antibiotics, and case series utilizing novel antifungal agents like rezafungin for invasive candidiasis. He has also published on the use of combination therapies, such as aztreonam–avibactam with eravacycline, for complex bacterial infections. Keck's research network includes collaborators such as Ryan K. Dare and Alina Viteri at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
