Funded Activity Summary

Antibiotic resistance, particularly resistance to all or nearly all of the antibiotics available for treatment is now very common and impacts heavily on the treatment of bacterial infections. This project will track resistance genes in reservoirs where antibiotic resistance genes may be present in high concentrations as these are a likely source of the resistance genes in disease-causing bacteria. One such reservoir, the bacteria in the intestines of healthy humans will be examined.
