Stevens Lab

The Stevens lab is a research group based in the School of Life Sciences at Keele University (UK). Our research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis and evolution. In particular, we study the evolution of bacterial opportunistic pathogens, with a focus on understanding how these organisms transition from harmless commensals to harmful pathogens. We also study the interactions between opportunistic pathogens and host microbiota, and the role of microbiota components in protecting against the onset of infectious disease.
