Cultural differences: how analysing mixed communities of microorganisms could help us understand AMR

Microbes don’t live in single-strain groups – they mingle. Antimicrobial resistance can be passed between strains as well as within them. What does this mean for the future of single-cell sequencing and the fight against AMR?

Differences make a difference: from one cell to a world of individuality

In our last article, we explored how low-level exposure to antibiotics in the environment is affecting the emergence of resistance genes in Salmonella. Here, we explore how single-cell genomics can elevate our understanding of how AMR arises - and equip us with the knowledge to tackle this existential threat.

New insights into resistance to antimicrobials could stop bacteria in their tracks

The rise in untreatable bacterial infections is one of the top 10 health threats currently facing humanity. In the first of a three-part series, we discover how the Earlham Institute is tackling this existential threat.
