A brief summary of Erin's research:

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen that infects critically ill patients in hospital settings, where it is frequently found contaminating hospital surfaces in a desiccated state. 

Erin’s research is focused on utilizing genetic approaches to understand the mechanisms of A. baumannii desiccation tolerance, as well as the impact that environmental persistence has on the transmission and virulence of this pathogen.
