Author Information

Dr. Mukesh Kumar Yadav is working as Research Professor at Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. He has more than 10 years of research experience in the field of microbiology in general and molecular microbiology, molecular diagnostic, medical microbiology, Host-pathogen interaction, microbial biofilms and plant-pathology in particular. Dr. Yadav's research is focused on microbial biofilms in clinical setups. He is particularly interested on biofilm related pathogenesis and identification of novel pathway for the development of new antimicrobial/antibiofilm compounds. The host-response during single species or multi-species colonization in vivo is also important part of his study. Using in vitro biofilm model and in vivo colonization models, his group have identified a number of natural and synthetic compounds that are effective in controlling bacterial growth in planktonic as well as under biofilm state. Treatment of biofilm related infections is huge challenge in clinical settings, and it is further complicated by emergency of antimicrobial strains. Therefore, Dr Yadav's group is identifying non-antibiotic antimicrobial agents with multiple mode of action. Dr. Yadav has completed four major research projects on microbial biofilms funded by Korean Government under National Research Fellowship Program, and Science and Technology department (Government of South Korea). Dr. Yadav has enough exposure in the field of bacterial and fungal biofilms, and has established good collaboration with medical healthcare practitioners and industrial researchers. Dr. Yadav's research group has identified biofilm related genes and their pathway in both bacteria and fungi. And have identified the potential anti-biofilm compounds (synthetic and natural), and also studied genomic, proteomics and mechanism of biofilm formation by single species and multi-species using in vitro and in vivo models. Dr Yadav has published more than 35 research articles on in peer review journals. Dr. Bhim Pratap Singh, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, Aizawl, Mizoram University, India, has more than 8 years of research experience in the field of molecular microbiology, DNA fingerprinting and biocontrol of plant diseases, biosynthetic potential of actinobacteria associated with medicinal plants. He has worked for last 8 years on microbial diversity and explored the microbial population associated with medicinal plants and rhizospheric soils of Mizoram. He completed four research projects on screening and characterization of endophytic actibacteria and fungi associated with medicinal plants and the rhizospheric soils funded by University Grants Commission, Government of India and Indian Council Agricultural Research, Government of India, New Delhi. Recently, his group isolated and characterise about 150 actinobacteria having biosynthetic potential isolated from traditional medicinal plants. Dr. Singh's group has also focused on understanding the chemical composition traditional medicinal plants. In 2015-16, the group published 15 international and national research papers in high impact factor journals.
