OverviewAI-generated summary

Young Min Kwon's research focuses on understanding and controlling bacterial pathogens, particularly Salmonella, in poultry. His work investigates the efficacy of various compounds, such as curcumin, copper acetate, and eugenol, in combating Salmonella infections, reducing its colonization and spread within broiler chickens. This research also examines the impact of these interventions on intestinal permeability and the composition of the cecal microbiota.

Further investigations by Kwon delve into the genetic mechanisms underlying bacterial survival and adaptation. This includes genome-wide characterization of Salmonella Typhimurium genes essential for fitness under iron restriction and in silico analyses of antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in enteric pathogens. His recent publications also explore the role of reactive oxygen species in the bactericidal activity of disinfectants like chlorine and natural compounds like eugenol against Salmonella, and how sublethal concentrations of chlorine can induce antibiotic resistance in these bacteria.

Kwon also studies the productive performance of broiler chickens and the effects of dietary supplements, such as β-mannanases and bacteriophages, on their cecum microbiota. He has published over 124 papers, with an h-index of 34 and more than 3,149 citations, and is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He leads a research group and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the National Center for Toxicological Research.
