Characterising environmental antimicrobial resistance-driving chemicals
Abstract
This project aims to investigate non-antimicrobial chemicals in the environment that contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Using advancing screening techniques coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry, the goal is to identify these chemicals. The information gained from this project is expected to revolutionise our understanding of antimicrobial resistance and can inform policy decisions to manage AMR, supporting Australia¿TM)s National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy. Expected benefits include the safeguarding of Australia¿TM)s public health and food sustainability, the minimisation of environmental contamination, and alleviating the economic burdens related to antimicrobial resistance.
