Led a randomized clinical trial demonstrating the efficacy of oral phage therapy using two coliphage preparations in treating acute bacterial diarrhea in children from Bangladesh, significantly reducing the duration of diarrhea.
Conducted a metagenomic analysis and safety assessment of a Russian phage cocktail, paving the way for its oral application in healthy human subjects.
Conducted a prospective cohort study revealing the frequent occurrence of long-term gastrointestinal consequences following sporadic acute infectious diarrhea in a tropical country.
Demonstrated that antibiotic treatment leads to fecal Escherichia coli and coliphage expansion in severely malnourished diarrhea patients, highlighting the complex interplay between antibiotics and the gut microbiome.
Identified a distinct clade of Bifidobacterium longum in the gut of Bangladeshi children that thrives during weaning, suggesting its importance for infant gut health and development.
Evaluated the coverage of diarrhea-associated Escherichia coli isolates from different origins with two types of phage cocktails, providing insights into the potential of phage therapy for targeted treatment.
Investigated the influence of FUT2 and FUT3 polymorphisms and the nasopharyngeal microbiome on respiratory infections in breastfed Bangladeshi infants, contributing to the understanding of host-microbe interactions in respiratory health.
