Happy World #AMR Awareness Week! #WAAW #WAAW25
At @ukceh.bsky.social our AMR researchers work on both #bacterial and #fungal AMR!
We undertake research monitoring AMR in many different environments (water 🌊, wastewater 💩, air 💨, soil 🌱 & plants 🌿), which means we get out in the field a lot!

Plastic litter and microplastics are concentrated in coastal zones and may well rapidly accumulate in restored saltmarshes.
See a great new #PhD opportunity to study how restored saltmarshes provide benefits and cope with potential risks of pollution, pathogens and AMR.
