Rate My Professor Hui San Allison

Dr. Allison's research centers on microbiology, with emphasis on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria including Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella from companion animals and food-producing animals such as commercial layer hens and meat chickens. Her contributions include national Australian studies assessing AMR prevalence and genomic traits, addressing public health risks in the One Health context. Notable publications are 'A national study confirms that Escherichia coli from Australian commercial layer hens remain susceptible to critically important antimicrobials' (2023, PLOS One); 'Antimicrobial resistance and genomic characteristics of Campylobacter spp. from Australian meat chickens with a follow-up investigation' (2025, Scientific Reports); 'Antimicrobial resistance in clinical Escherichia coli isolated from companion animals in Australia' (2017, Veterinary Microbiology, 137 citations); 'First detection of extended-spectrum cephalosporin- and fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli in Australian food-producing animals' (2015, Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 134 citations); 'Carbapenemase-producing bacteria in companion animals: a public health concern on the horizon' (2014, Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 120 citations); and studies on Salmonella Typhimurium biofilm susceptibility to disinfectants (2010, Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biofouling). She has supervised PhD theses, including one on AMR in Campylobacter from meat chickens (2023). Dr. Allison has also contributed to public events as contact for an 'Introduction to Intellectual Property' workshop.
