The world of biologically-active small molecules includes products of all living organims (the Parvome). What are their roles? We are studying the cell-cell signaling functions of microbial products by the use of reporter systems. In addition, the laboratory has projects directed towards antibiotic discovery and on the analysis of antibiotic resistance mechanisms and their genetic organization.
