Sabin Poudel - profile information

Short Bio

Dr. Sabin Poudel is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Poultry Science at Auburn University. His research focuses on developing innovative strategies to control foodborne pathogens, particularly Salmonella and Campylobacter, to enhance the safety of poultry products. By investigating how these pathogens colonize and spread, Dr. Poudel aims to mitigate Salmonella transmission through aerosol routes and understand its impact on respiratory and gut microbiomes. His work also explores the use of beneficial bacteria to prevent colonization, contributing to improved poultry health and food safety. Additionally, Dr. Poudel’s research addresses critical transmission routes for Campylobacter, including aerosol and potential vertical transmission from parent to offspring. He is also dedicated to tackling antibiotic resistance by identifying compounds that limit horizontal gene transfer in poultry litter, thereby reducing the environmental spread of resistance genes. By leveraging advanced molecular and microbiological techniques, Dr. Poudel provides actionable insights that support sustainable poultry farming and a safer global food supply.
