<p><strong>Karl Klose</strong>, director of The South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (STCEID) and the Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg College of Sciences Endowed Professor, coauthored a research article with <strong>Cameron Lloyd </strong>’23, a UTSA doctoral student who graduated in August with a Ph.D. in molecular microbiology and immunology under the guidance of Klose. </p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/cholera/infection-sources.html">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>, cholera is an intestinal infection that causes diarrhea, vomiting, circulatory collapse and shock. If left untreated, 25 to 50% of severe cholera cases can be fatal. Cholera is a leading cause of epidemic diarrhea in parts of the world and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates up to four million people are infected each year.</p>
<p>The research paper investigates a novel strategy for inhibiting the spread and infection of <em>Vibrio cholerae,</em> the bacteria responsible for the disease, cholera.</p>
<p>The research article is entitled, “<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2308238120">A peptide-binding domain shared with an Antarctic bacterium facilitates <em>Vibrio cholerae</em> human cell binding and intestinal colonization</a>" and was recently published by <a href="https://www.pnas.org/">The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)</a>. PNAS is a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences that broadly spans across the areas of biological, physical and social sciences.</p>
