Dr. Kamonnut Singkhamanan joined the Department of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University in 2011. She is a principal investigator of the Molecular Microbiology Laboratory. Her research is focused on the field of infectious diseases, especially nosocomial infections. For example, she used molecular techniques such as direct PCR, LAMP, and MALDI-TOF to detect bacterial pathogens. She also studies antibiotic-resistant mechanisms and the molecular epidemiology of bacteria associated with serious health problems, such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Clostridium difficile, for infectious control. In addition, she is developing bacterial proteins (substances) and probiotics using protein engineering for the treatment of specific bacterial infections, in particular, C. difficile infections and infections associated with the biofilm of A. baumannii. Furthermore, she uses high-throughput technology to study the microbiome to analyze the functional relationship between microbiota and human health and diseases.
