About
Dr. Samantha Firth is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University, specializing in bacterial metal homeostasis and antimicrobial mechanisms in pathogenic streptococci.
Her research interests encompass:
- Microbiology and Bacterial Pathogenesis
- Metal Homeostasis (Zinc, Manganese, Copper)
- Antimicrobial Peptides and Innate Immunity
- Host-Pathogen Interactions
- Infectious Disease Mechanisms
Recent 2023 publications analyze copper-induced dysregulation of zinc/manganese homeostasis in Streptococcus pyogenes and evaluate histatin-5's efficacy against streptococci, revealing critical insights into metal-dependent bacterial virulence and limitations of salivary antimicrobial defenses.
