Through the AusGEM AMR program, we\u2019re working to understand how microorganisms acquire genetic information, either by mutation, recombination, or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which enable pathogens to survive and render the processes or agents designed to kill them partially or completely ineffective.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re developing genomic surveillance systems of AMR through a \u2018One-Health\u2019 approach, drawing on genomic technologies to monitor the mobilisation, persistence, and abundance of AMR genes and mutations within microbial populations.<\/p>\n
Our work addresses a critical public and global health challenge, and supports the efforts of the scientific community, water and agricultural industries, and regulators in understanding and managing the threats posed to biosecurity and the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment.<\/p>\n
AusGEM\u2019s current and planned antimicrobial resistance (AMR) activities are led by Distinguished Professor Steven Djordjevic.<\/p>\n
