Superbug Evolution - Understanding the Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance

Explore the critical issue of antimicrobial resistance in this informative 43-minute video from the Alan Turing Institute. Delve into the challenges posed by evolving bacterial pathogens and their impact on global healthcare systems as antibiotics become less effective. Join Victoria Carr, a PhD student in Bioinformatics, as she discusses her research comparing antimicrobial resistance in mouth and gut microbes. Learn about the development of software to identify "mobile genetic elements" and their connection to antibiotic resistance genes. Gain insights into the ongoing battle against superbugs and the importance of understanding their evolution.
