About
Patrick Boerlin is a leading veterinary microbiologist whose research focuses on the molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and pathogenesis of bacterial pathogens in animals and humans. His major contributions center on the development and application of advanced typing methods to track the spread of zoonotic and foodborne pathogens, particularly *Clostridium perfringens* and *Salmonella*. Notably, his 2007 work on "Typing of *Clostridium perfringens* by multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeats analysis" (24 citations) established a high-resolution genotyping tool that has been instrumental in understanding the population structure and transmission dynamics of this important pathogen. Boerlin’s research has significantly advanced the One Health approach, linking animal health, food safety, and human disease. His work is widely cited for its rigorous methodology and practical implications for surveillance and control of antimicrobial resistance in livestock and companion animals. Through his ongoing studies, Boerlin continues to shape our understanding of how bacterial populations evolve under selective pressures, providing critical insights for public health and veterinary medicine.
