Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global, immediate and ongoing concern to human health. AMR occurs when microbes become resistant to clinical or veterinary drugs that are used to treat disease, and this has major consequences on how microbial diseases are managed and therefore how antimicrobial compounds are used.

AMR and antimicrobial usage (AMU) affects different aspects of our lives and environment, and this is reflected in ongoing research. Examples of the breadth of our work includes research on estimating the levels of resistance in sheep, surveillance of AMR genes in Scottish soils and understanding how resistance occurs in priority foodborne pathogens.
