I am Dr. C. S. Premnath, MD, DNB (Microbiology), a medical microbiologist with a research focus on molecular characterization of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia (SFGR) in India. I am particularly interested in improving diagnostic approaches for rickettsial infections, which remain underdiagnosed causes of acute febrile illness in endemic regions. My broader research interests include infectious disease epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and hospital infection control.
