Carroll’s research focuses on the mechanisms that allow bacteria to cause disease in humans, including highly drug-resistant forms that are creating a growing problem in the United States.

The faculty member will discuss topics such as flu shots, vaccines, the differences between bacteria and viruses, how antibiotics work and why some bacteria are becoming resistant to them.
