Professor Craig MacLean's research focuses on the evolution of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa. His lab investigates the fundamental evolutionary processes that drive the spread and maintenance of antibiotic resistance. Key themes include the fitness costs of resistance, the evolutionary consequences of antibiotic intervention strategies, and the genomic drivers of resistance. MacLean aims to understand how resistance affects bacterial competitive ability and how these dynamics shift with changes in antibiotic use. His work contributes significantly to knowledge in evolutionary microbiology, particularly concerning the threats posed by antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
