Dear CEE Community,
Please come join us this Thursday to hear from one of our new professors, Dr. Erica Fuhrmeister, on her work in antibiotic resistance.
When/Where: Thursday 12/1 (3:30); Bagley Hall 154, and on zoom: http://depts.washington.edu/watersem/
Abstract: Using Metagenomic Sequencing to Surveil for Antimicrobial Resistance on a Global Scale
Antibiotic resistance is a pressing public health problem, with the highest burden in low-resource settings. In this talk, I will discuss two projects using metagenomic sequencing to understand the burden of antibiotic resistance in different settings. In the first, I will share the results of our analysis on the association between antibiotic resistance gene abundance in human guts and access to improved water and sanitation in 26 countries. In the second, I will present ongoing work in our lab to surveil for antibiotic resistance gene alleles in wastewater. Continue reading
