معرفی
Dace Eglīte serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Biology and Microbiology at Rīga Stradiņš University, while also working as an Acting Researcher and pursuing her PhD studies. Her academic career is centered on addressing antimicrobial resistance through innovative bacteriophage-based approaches.
Her research interests focus on Bacteriophage therapy, Biofilm-related infections, and combating Antimicrobial Resistance in clinically significant pathogens including Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Her work bridges fundamental microbiology with clinical applications, particularly in developing alternative strategies to conventional antibiotics.
Analysis of her research output reveals a consistent focus on bacteriophage applications against multidrug-resistant pathogens, with recent work emphasizing practical solutions for biomaterial-associated infections and developing phage-antibiotic synergy approaches. Her publications demonstrate expertise in both laboratory techniques for phage characterization and translational research toward clinical applications.
Dr. Eglīte actively contributes to significant research projects addressing antimicrobial resistance, including the ReScUe-Kleb initiative and Latvia's National Research Programme focused on reducing antimicrobial resistance and expanding vaccination coverage.
Her academic activities include conference presentations on bacteriophage research, particularly her work on developing a Latvian Klebsiella spp. bacteriophage biobank, demonstrating her commitment to building national research infrastructure in this critical field.
