Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to modern medical practice. Antibiotics save us from life-threatening infections, and are used extensively to prevent or heal infections stemming from medical interventions, including surgery, chemotherapy and organ transplantation. While it is fairly straightforward to identify bacteria resistant to therapy, until the availability of genomics it was extremely difficult to trace the emergence and spread of specific mechanisms of resistance. At the October 20, 2017 MAC-EPID symposium we will learn how genomics has transformed our understanding of the spread of antibiotic resistance and the spatial spread of pathogens.
