Research project: Understanding the resistome evolution in a one health context : Does resistance evolve differently across bacterial species?

Abstract

The thesis is studying the resistome evolution in E.coli, p. Aeruginosa, K. Pneumoniae and S.aureus using two methods which are Antibiotic Resistance Growth Plate (ARGP) and chunky methods. In addition to that, this thesis is focusing on characterising the genotypes phenotypes of  the resistance strains.
