Antimicrobial Resistance, Omics and Microbiota (AROM)

We incorporate classical microbiology (aerobic, microaerophilic, anaerobic), molecular biology, systems biology and bioinformatics. Members of the group work on mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, factors influencing development of antimicrobial resistance, development of novel antimicrobials, population genomics and epidemiology, diversity of the human gut microbiota, host–microbiome interactions, predator–prey interactions, evolution of virulence, and plasmid biology and evolution.
