Dr Elita Jauneikaite's research focuses on evolution, transmission and antimicrobial resistance of Group B streptococcus and healthcare associated bacterial infections. Elita leads a research programme in bacterial pathogenesis, global trends in vaccine preventable infection and antibiotic resistance using bacterial genomics, bioinformatics and molecular biology techniques. Most important part of her research is to work together with multidisciplinary teams to combine all available information for the particular strains of the pathogen, such as clinical, large-scale epidemiology, genetics of the pathogen and microbiological findings in the laboratory, to really understand all aspects that are at play when pathogens cause infections.
