We process our monitoring samples in a variety of ways, which include #phenotypic testing for #AMR, as well as using #molecular methods such as #qPCR and #sequencing to look for specific antimicrobial resistance genes 🦠🧬👩‍🔬🧫

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!

Our Planet. Decoded.

UKCEH makes sense of environmental complexity to power decisions that shape a better future.

We don’t just examine our planet, we decode it – working out how to build a better tomorrow.

First up, @rachelapayne.bsky.social who is a Molecular Microbiology Research Assistant. Rachel investigates environmental AMR, focusing on antifungal resistance in air & soils, & antibacterial resistance in rivers. She uses a combination of lab, field & desk-based studies to carry out her research🧫🦠
