SUMMARY:Understanding the drivers of antimicrobial resistance evolution -

DESCRIPTION:The evolution of antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat 
 to human lives that is becoming progressively harder to manage. This is be
 cause there are many different mechanisms that allow bacteria to develop r
 esistance to antimicrobial treatments. In this talk\, I will explore the c
 omplex dynamics of genetic\, phenotypic and mobile resistance mechanisms i
 n microbial populations. I will show under which conditions we would expec
 t genetic or phenotypic antimicrobial resistance to determine pathogen suc
 cess and how this leads to different mutational pathways during chronic an
 d acute infections. Further\, I will discuss the genetic and environmental
  conditions that determine the spread of mobile resistance elements in het
 erogeneous bacterial populations. Overall\, I aim to demonstrate the compl
 exity of microbial resistance dynamics but that there is hope to understan
 d them by studying their mechanistic interactions.\n\nThe seminar will be 
 held in JDB Seminar Room\, Department of Engineering\, and online (zoom):
