Krishna Rao, MD, MS

Associate Professor
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, MI, United States

Dr. Rao attended medical school at Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois, and completed both his residency in internal medicine and his fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of Michigan. Dr. Rao’s clinical, administrative, and research interests include the diagnosis and management of healthcare-associated infections, especially Clostridium difficile infection. His clinical work includes managing the University of Michigan Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (stool transplant) program for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, a program that he co-founded.
His primary research goal is to investigate how biochemical, microbiological, and clinical factors can help clinical decision-making in healthcare-associated infections, and he hopes to ultimately integrate these factors into robust risk-prediction algorithms for use by clinicians. His funding sources have included the NIH, CDC, industry, and non-profit foundations, and his projects include the study of C. difficile infection, the effect of antibiotics on the gut microbiota, and infections from Gram-negative bacteria, including multi-drug resistant organisms, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae.
