James m Musser - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

James M. Musser is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Center for Molecular and Translational Human Infectious Diseases Research, Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine at the Houston Methodist Research Institute and Houston Methodist Hospital, located in Houston, Texas. His work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with significant contributions to understanding pathogen genomics and the mechanisms of disease transmission and resistance.

Research Contributions

James M. Musser has made substantial contributions to infectious disease research, particularly in studying the genetic and molecular aspects of pathogens like Streptococcus pyogenes and SARS-CoV-2. His recent research includes analyzing genetic polymorphisms that reduce antimicrobial susceptibility in Streptococcus pyogenes and investigating the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Omicron and Delta, in terms of vaccine breakthrough cases and transmission. He has also explored the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from humans to wildlife, specifically white-tailed deer, and the implications of antibody escape mechanisms in the virus's spike protein.
