Antimicrobial Resistance Research

Our One Health approach to antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global threat to healthcare and society. Recent estimates suggest that five million people die each year from antibacterial resistant infections, with the cumulative impact upon the global economy placed at $100 trillion by the year 2050.

A One Health approach to tackling AMR is key, a fact recognised by the World Health Organization in their report ‘ 

 

 

Leading the fight against antimicrobial resistance

At the 淫乱色情片 we recognise that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an issue on a global scale. Our research spans from fundamental lab work right through to influencing global policies on the issue. 

Our teams are committed to developing new ways to reduce antibiotic resistance, minimise antibiotic use, create alternative treatments, and tackle the major health and food threat from anti-fungal resistance. We have further strengths in understanding how resistance spreads in our environments, and in fungal resistance, in plants and humans.  

We excel at combining the expertise of academics in traditionally disparate disciplines to join forces to find new ways to tackle global, complex challenges. Our One Health approach unites specialists in microbiology, medical mycology, clinical application and global behaviour change. Only by transcending boundaries can we bring about meaningful improvement.  

We have a strong and diverse network of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) researchers, and we’re part of the , along with the universities of Cardiff, Bath and Bristol. Together, we can find new solutions to one of the greatest health challenges of our time.  

"AMR is not just a medical problem. It’s also a threat to crops, to food security and to animals. This interconnection between people, animals, plants and their shared environment demands a collaborative, trans-disciplinary, One Health approach to finding solutions."

Fungal resistance: An under-recognised crisis with massive global impact

Antifungal resistance is less recognised amid the AMR challenge, yet fungal diseases affect billions of people each year and are responsible for approximately 1.5 million deaths per year worldwide.
