OverviewAI-generated summary

Kaleb Z. Abram's research focuses on the genomic epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of bacteria, particularly within the context of human health. His work investigates the genetic diversity of bacterial species, including *Escherichia coli*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, and *Enterococcus faecium*. Abram has published studies analyzing large datasets of bacterial genomes to identify phylogroups, mobile genetic elements, and antibiotic resistance genes. He has explored the genomic diversity of the *Pseudomonas putida* group and the core and accessory genes of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. His research also includes the isolation of specific antibiotic-resistant bacteria from clinical and environmental sources, such as vegetables and cancer patients. Abram collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Se‐Ran Jun, David W. Ussery, Michael Scott Robeson, and En Huang, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
