Background & Goals
The Bacteriology Unit at NeTroDisOH Research Organization stands as a critical component in our overarching commitment to addressing neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Specializing in bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), our unit aligns its research endeavors with the organization's primary goal of tackling NTDs, contributing to the global effort to alleviate the burden of these diseases on vulnerable populations. Dedicated to advancing knowledge in bacteriology, our researchers focus on key areas such as yaws, mycetoma, and AMR, with a clear mission to translate scientific findings into practical solutions for disease eradication. By working in tandem with the Parasitology Unit and other research entities within the organization, we contribute to a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing NTDs from both parasitic and bacterial perspectives. Our unit recognizes the interconnected nature of NTDs and understands that collaborative efforts are essential for success. Through strategic partnerships with national and international institutions, we aim to develop effective interventions and treatment strategies that align with the organization's overarching goal of improving global health outcomes, particularly in regions where neglected tropical diseases prevail. The Bacteriology Unit at NeTroDisOH Research Organization is not just dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge but is actively engaged in shaping practical solutions that have a direct impact on the lives of individuals affected by neglected tropical diseases. Through our research initiatives, we contribute valuable insights to the broader mission of the organization, fostering a holistic approach to combating NTDs on multiple fronts.
