the mitigation of bacterial quorum sensing regulatory network and biofilm-associated infections, particularly in ESKAPE pathogens. He is extensively working in the field of identifying bioactive compounds from natural resources in the therapeutic management of biofilm-associated chronic infections in ESKAPE pathogens by targeting species-specific quorum sensing communication by exploring the analytical techniques and bioinformatics-based molecular tools. He is also working on the development of therapeutic moieties against UTIs using plant-derived compounds and sustainable nano-based drug formulation for the efficient management of antibiotic resistance by regulation of bacterial biofilm mechanics. Dr. Pattnaik has more than fifty publications to his credit, including several research and review papers in peer-reviewed international journals, and several book chapters in the edited books of reputed publishing groups. He is also a member of many national and international scientific societies.
