Biography

Peter Kinnevey received a B.Sc. Honours Degree from NUI Galway in 2006 followed by a Ph.D. from the Dublin Dental University Hospital (DDUH)/School of Dental Science Microbiology Unit, Trinity College Dublin in 2011. He is now Assistant Professor in Infection Prevention and Control and Microbiology with the DDUH, Division of Oral Biosciences. Peter has published extensively in the peer-reviewed international literature on population biology, evolution, genomics and antibiotic resistance mechanisms of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VREs) by whole genome sequencing. Peter"s research interests focus on population biology of pathogens associated with healthcare-associated infections and infection prevention and control (IPC), strategies, policies and education.

Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

Peters research expertise focuses on the use of whole-genome sequencing to investigate pathogens associated with healthcare-associated infections. These include the molecular epidemiology and population structure of hospital-acquired and community-acquired MRSA, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and VRE. Other interests include the molecular analysis of mobile genetic elements encoding antibiotic resistance and virulence including SCCmec elements in pandemic, epidemic and sporadic MRSA and MSSA and the practical management of Legionella risks in water distribution networks.
