Pathways to extensive and pan antibiotic resistance in the globally disseminated Acinetobacter baumannii GC2 clone [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Ruth Hall (Principal investigator)

Brief description The project will study the evolution of a Acinetobacter baumannii clone that is found all around the world, and has become resistant to most or all of the currently available antibiotics. Resistance has been acquired in a series of steps, and the resistance genes present and the events involved will be used to understand the globalization process. The increased understanding of resistance development should assist in controlling untreatable infections and in preserving antibiotics.
