Excited to share our new study published in Nature Microbiology!
We explored the resistome of foods and food production environments using metagenomics.
This work is part of the EU-funded MASTER project.

Today we celebrated a workshop on AMR at the University of Cordoba. I presented the work done in the last years at @NEWTEC_ULe on food chain resistome dynamics. Many other interesting talks on AMR and One Health. Thanks to the organizers for the invitation!

Today we hosted at @FacVetLeon an event for the AMR awareness week. With fantastic talks by @Azumora3 on One Health for fighting AMR; @mcarmen_collado on microbiome and resistome transmission in early life; and @jaegc on the role of integrons in AMR spread.
