Project details

Bioeconomic Approach to Antimicrobial Agents – Use and Resistance (BIO-AMR)

Project type

 Complex projects in RDI consortia - Bioeconomy Field

Objectives

The comprehensive analysis of the problem of antimicrobial resistance through a cross-sectional, descriptive approach, carried out in close collaboration with hospital units and veterinary clinics to improve patient safety and minimize the risk of the emergence and spread of resistance.

Activities:

  • Isolation, cultivation and identification of germs of interest.
  • Analysis of metabolic characteristics and microbial resistance at the molecular level.
  • Testing the potential of new/unidentified pharmacological antimicrobial agents.
  • Obtaining models for the study of in vitro and in vivo resistance to antimicrobial agents.
