Research and publications
Dr. Crnich’s research has utilized data collected from a prospective cohort study to better understand the transmission dynamics of methicillin-resistant _Staphylococcus aureus_ (MRSA) and fluoroquinolone-resistant _Escherichia coli_ in Wisconsin nursing homes, elucidate the factors associated with acquisition of these pathogens, and begin to explore the role that different antibiotic classes play in this process.
