Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kaleb Z. Abram's research focuses on the genomic analysis of microbial populations, particularly concerning antibiotic resistance and bacterial phylogeny. His work involves investigating mobile genetic elements associated with resistance genes in pathogens like Enterococcus isolates from patients with prolonged bacteremia. Abram also studies the genomic diversity of bacterial groups, including the Pseudomonas putida group, exploring their taxonomy, core pangenome, and resistance mechanisms. He has contributed to understanding the genomic epidemiology and resistance patterns of Enterococcus faecium in cancer patients. Additionally, his research has explored large-scale genomic analyses of Escherichia coli to define distinct phylogroups and has examined the core and accessory genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen. Abram also has an interest in novel data storage methods, specifically using DNA as a storage medium. His scholarly metrics include an h-index of 7 with 19 publications and 235 citations.
