About

David Coleman is a Professor and Chair of Oral and Applied Microbiology at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, School of Dental Science, Ireland. His research areas primarily focus on the molecular epidemiology of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus aureus. Recent studies involve whole-genome sequencing investigations into bacterial transmission dynamics in healthcare settings and the effectiveness of decontamination protocols.
