Next week is the beginning of the reboot of the EMBARK webinar series, now rebranded the SEARCHER webinars. For the first webinar, we will have Álvaro San Millan talking about the ecology and evolution of plasmid-mediated carbapenem resistance. He will be accompanied by our own Uli Klümper who will talk about the rates and rivers of plasmid transfer. Join us for this exciting webinar on April 14 at 14:30 CEST. Register here!
More on the rest of the webinar series for 2024 will be posted on this site shorty!
September 13, 14:00 CEST
Molecular and culture based methods for AMR survillance in aquatic environments and animals
Jonas Bonnedahl (PAIRWISE)
Rabaab Zahra (EMBARK)
Moderator: Víctor Hugo Jarquín Díaz
Aim of PAIRWISE: Advance knowledge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a pollution in aquatic environments, wildlife, and livestock. PAIRWISE focuses on dispersal and dynamics of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) and antibiotics (ATB) in aquatic environments affected by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
