OverviewAI-generated summary

Young Min Kwon's research program focuses on understanding and controlling bacterial pathogens, particularly *Salmonella*, in food animal production and public health. His work investigates the efficacy of natural compounds, such as curcumin, copper acetate, and eugenol, in mitigating *Salmonella* infections, reducing intestinal permeability, and modulating the gut microbiota in broiler chickens. Kwon also explores the mechanisms by which disinfectants, like chlorine, exert their bactericidal activity, including the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both pathogen killing and the potential induction of antibiotic resistance.

His research group also engages in genomic and bioinformatics analyses to characterize bacterial fitness genes and mobile genetic elements associated with antimicrobial resistance in enteric pathogens. This includes in silico studies of the diversity and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements within plasmids of enteric pathogens. Kwon's work contributes to the broader understanding of host-pathogen interactions, bacterial genetics, and the development of strategies to enhance food safety and animal health.
