Description of Research
The overall goal of the Triplett lab is to determine the drivers of microbial diversity in a wide range of environments.
Current interests include: 1) the role of bacteria in the onset of autoimmune diseases; 2) bacteria as players in premature birth; 3) distribution of diazotrophs in natural ecosystems; 4) understanding the physiology of Liberibacter for the control of citrus greening disease; and 5) antimicrobial resistance in agroecosystems.
