Dr. David focuses his research on the epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the health care setting and in the community. He has studied MRSA and its control in a variety of settings including jails, gymnasiums, rural Alaska, and health care facilities. He is interested in the role of fomites in the transmission of MRSA, risk factors for asymptomatic colonization with MRSA, the molecular epidemiology of community-associated MRSA, the prevention of MRSA transmission from person to person, and genetic factors underlying the fitness of MRSA strains.
In addition, Dr. David studies the history of infectious diseases, with a focus on tuberculosis and the history of infectious diseases in Russia.
